Thistledown

'Thorny Devil' Grenache 2024

Thistledown is a boutique Australian winery founded by Master of Wine Giles Cooke and Fergal Tynan, focused on crafting expressive, terroir‑driven Grenache from old, bush‑trained vines in McLaren Vale and South Australia. Thorny Devil Grenache 2024 exemplifies their approach with natural ferments, gentle extraction and time in seasoned oak, emphasising purity and texture. This vintage shows classic McLaren Vale perfume and spice, with bright red fruit aromas of raspberry, cherry and pomegranate, layered with herbal, floral and subtle savoury notes, a supple medium body and a long, engaging finish
