About
Thistledown is dedicated to crafting wines that express the purity and regional character of their vineyards. Their Old Vine Grenache highlights the qualities of mature vines, producing wines with depth, balance, and refined fruit expression.
Vineyards: Thistledown Gorgeous Old Vine Grenache is sourced from old-vine plantings in premium Australian vineyards. The vines are carefully managed to produce concentrated, flavourful grapes, with warm days and cool nights contributing to slow, even ripening and well-preserved natural acidity.
Winemaking: Grapes are gently destemmed and fermented in stainless steel or neutral vessels to preserve fruit purity and varietal character. Partial maturation in neutral oak may be used to enhance texture and complexity without overpowering the delicate Grenache fruit. The result is a smooth, expressive red wine with balance, elegance, and vibrancy.
Ideal with...
