Grenache is Australias signature grape variety and were slightly obsessed with it. Utilising a range of premium vineyards across The Barossa and McLaren Vale regions of South Australia, Thistledown have crafted a wine that captures all that is good about Grenache. Aromatic, deceptively light but with beautiful wild fruit, and slurpy, supple tannins.

THISTLEDOWN WINES Walking With Kings, McLaren Vale A Rhône inspired white which takes the richly textured Roussanne and blends with the crisp, green apple and citrus of Grenache Blanc to create a wine of real balance and complexity. Hand-picked Roussanne from Sellicks Hills, biodynamic Grenache Blanc from Kangarilla. Both varieties are hand picked and fermented separately. Roussanne is whole bunch pressed, lightly settled and wild fermented in French oak. Grenache is oxidatively handled prior to wild ferment in barrel. The two components blend prior to bottling.

Thistledown Wines Fool on the Hill Grenache, Eden Valley Thistledown Wines are a leading name in the who’s-who of Australia’s modern grenache movement out of some of South Australia’s finest regions. The Fool on the Hill Grenache is sourced from two dry-grown plots high in the Eden Valley. The soils are tricky to work with, but the results are more than evident that the hard work required to yield Fool on the Hill has been worth it. Lifted aromatics pair with a palate of textural, chewy body with dark cherry, spice, and a refreshing line of minerality.
