Single Vineyard, McLaren Vale.
Some vineyards have a remarkable story to tell and Thistledown came upon such a vineyard in late 2016. At the Seaview end of Chapel Hill Rd, it’s old bush vines contrasted by a planting of much younger Grenache. Apparently, half of the vineyard was burned when a bird caught light on a power line, fell to the ground and set light to the vineyard! They were so glad that some of the amazing old vines are still there for them to use.
Aromatic, fragrant and almost pinot like, this wine has great energy. Cranberry, spice and wild cherry combine with silky texture to create a beautifully elegant red.
