Log in / Sign up Thistledown Cunning Plan Shiraz 2023
The beautiful region of McLaren Vale is bounded by the Gulf to the West and the various ranges to the East and North. Geologically one of the most diverse regions on earth, it has long been the home to some of Australia’s finest expressions of Shiraz.
Our fruit comes from the Moray Park vineyard in the McLaren Flat subregion. Picked on the way up to retain vibrancy and energy.
Winemaking is simple with The Cunning Plan. Take perfectly balanced fruit, pick, gently crush to preserve whole berries and allow to soak for 4 days prior to a wild fermentation. Wild fermented and then pressed to French oak only, with 10% new.
Roast Duck Breast
Great depth of ripe plum and blackberry fruit flavours.
A full-bodied wine with a succulent palate, lively spices and fine velvety tannins.
