Thistledown Gorgeous Grenache Blanc 2022

Grenache is Australia’s signature grape variety and we’re slightly obsessed with-it. The white version is still rare in Australia but capable of beautifully textured, citrus laced wines of great drinkability.

As the world embraces the exquisite allure of Grenache in Australian wines, it's the often elusive Grenache Blanc that remains a treasure, and Thistledown stands at the forefront of championing this zesty and textured gem, perfectly aligning with their Grenache expertise. The journey begins with the selection of pristine organic fruit, carefully handpicked to ensure the utmost quality. Following this, a meticulous process unfolds, involving gentle whole bunch pressing and wild fermentation, with the wine gracefully nurtured in both concrete egg and well-seasoned French oak barrels.

Intriguingly, no malolactic fermentation is permitted, allowing the wine to preserve its vibrant character, but what truly sets it apart is its four-month sojourn on the lees. This captivating transformation imparts a remarkable depth and body to the wine, making it a must-try for those new to the enchanting world of Grenache Blanc. Thistledown's commitment to this exquisite variety is a testament to their dedication to crafting wines of unrivaled quality and character.
