Thistledown Wine Company works with a unique blend of unrivalled fruit sources and the experience of both the New and the Old Worlds, lent by our 2 Masters of Wine. We craft wines of subtlety, texture, and detail – wines a long way down the path to perfect balance. Best known as one of the leaders of the contemporary Grenache movement, Thistledown Wines make small batch Grenache, Shiraz, and Chardonnay from McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, and the Adelaide Hills. Alongside Wild & Wilder Wines, benchmark regional varietals and Mediterranean blends, and Millions Suns, sustainably certified wines from The Riverland, we produce world-class wines with quality, value, and sustainability at their core.

Sourced from one 75-year-old vineyard, he bush-trained vines on pure sand to yield a wine of immense purity and power that is both light and intense at the same time. Highly aromatic with notes of sandalwood, dried orange, violets, and wood spice on the nose, it follows through to a palate that is paradoxically elegant and vibrant but concentrated and persistent. Silky smooth with a glossy, highly attractive palate of wild strawberry, violets, and the merest hint of cinnamon and wood smoke. Achingly beautiful but deliciously drinkable all at once.
