Tasting Notes

Thistledown Gorgeous Grenache Rosé 2024

"Old bush vines planted in the Riverland.
Strawberry, a slightly salty smell, pink grapefruit, some floral things, fennel and dried herbs. It’s juicy and tangy, redcurrant and blood orange, light chalky grip, again that little savoury flourish of brined green olive and dried herb, with a finish of good length and a little orange peel bitterness. I reckon this is the best of the line to date." 91 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
