Producer Information
Ever since historic Scots, James Busby and John MacArthur founded the Australian wine industry in the early 19th century, the relationship between Scotland and Australia has been an enduring one.
Guardians of a long history, Thistledown Wine Co. was founded by Giles Cooke MW to continue the tradition of Scottish ingenuity and great Australian wine. From their small-batch winery in the idyllic Adelaide Hills, they work with pristine fruit sourced from iconic vineyard sites to chase a vision of more elegant, textural Australian wines.
Production Information
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 blended prior to bottling.
This is a ripper. It puts the focus on McLaren Vale's ability to eloquently express Southern Rhône white varieties. - Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate
