THISTLEDOWN WINES Gorgeous Old Vine Shiraz 2022

Giles Cooke & Fergal Tynan founded Thistledown Wines in 2010 after discovering iconic vineyard sites in the McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills. They make hand-made, small batch wines that perfectly illustrate the benefits of great sites and intelligent, minimalist winemaking.
The Shiraz was all picked from one old vineyard in the Riverland, a property that has been growing grapes since the early soldier settlements. A small proportion of Zibibbo, otherwise known as Muscat, was co-fermented using wild yeasts to create a very delicious and different wine.
On the nose there are peaches, ripe nectarine, wild raspberry and a little spice. The palate is soft, the texture silky and any tannins just add a little seasoning – like macerated strawberries and black pepper. Turning a previously undervalued resource into something that is hugely enjoyable and ultimately gorgeous.
