Thistledown Gorgeous Grenache Blanc is a deliciously different choice when you fancy a fresh, aromatic white but want to venture beyond Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. Bright citrus, ripe pear and juicy stone fruit are joined by delicate floral notes, while crisp acidity keeps everything lively and refreshing. There is just enough texture to give the wine substance without losing its wonderfully easy-drinking character.
Made entirely from Grenache Blanc and without oak, the emphasis is firmly on purity, freshness and fruit. It is an uncomplicated but characterful Australian white – versatile enough for the dinner table, yet refreshing enough to open simply because you fancy a glass.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Fresh and aromatic with ripe pear, citrus and stone fruit accompanied by delicate white flowers and subtle Mediterranean herb notes.
Palate: Bright and juicy, with citrus, pear and white stone fruit at the centre. Fresh acidity gives the wine energy and definition, while a gentle textural quality adds weight and makes the palate feel satisfyingly complete without becoming heavy.
Finish: Clean, fresh and gently persistent, with lingering citrus and orchard fruit and a subtle savoury edge.
About
Thistledown Wines was founded by Masters of Wine Giles Cooke and Fergal Tynan with a particular passion for the Mediterranean grape varieties that thrive in Australia's warm, dry climate. Their Gorgeous range focuses on vibrant, approachable wines that offer plenty of personality while remaining relaxed and easy to enjoy.
Winemaking: The Grenache Blanc grapes are gently pressed before cool fermentation to retain their natural freshness and aromatic character. The wine is matured in stainless steel rather than oak, keeping the focus firmly on bright fruit, lively acidity and the distinctive character of the variety.
Vineyards: The Grenache Blanc is sourced from sustainably managed vineyards in South Australia. The region's abundant sunshine allows the grapes to develop ripe, generous fruit, while careful vineyard selection and harvesting help retain the acidity and freshness needed to balance that natural richness.
Food Pairing
Excellent as an aperitif or with grilled fish, seafood, salads and Mediterranean vegetables. Its combination of fresh fruit and gentle texture also makes it a good partner for roast chicken, lightly spiced dishes and creamy cheeses.
