Tasting notes
Blackcurrant and herbal aromas are lifted by a subtle mocha note. Fleshy fruit fills the palate, supported by structure and a long finish.
Producer profile
Founded by Masters of Wine Giles Cooke and Fergal Tynan, by Thistledown works closely with Australian growers. Its wines combine careful fruit selection with an approachable, characterful style.
Viticulture and winemaking
Grapes are picked before becoming overripe to retain balance. Whole berries are kept in the ferment for freshness, with early pressing to avoid harsh tannins. Maturation in seasoned French oak adds depth.
Food pairing
An excellent partner for roast beef or a grilled sirloin steak.
