Description
 
Thistledown was founded in 2010 by Giles Cooke and Fergal Tynan, both Master of Wine. They set out to crft wines of energy, texture and place from the premium regions of South Australia and, over recent years, established themselves as Grenache specialists.

The 2023 Sands of Time Old Vine Single Vineyard Grenache leads with a floral, fragrant bouquet of Boscobel rose, crushed green (and salted) pistachios, licorice, clove, star anise and cracked fennel seeds. The wine is structurally fine and ductile; the tannins present us with an attractive framework of support and texture. It is gently chewy, layered with tobacco, iron and a hint of boudin noir, or black pudding. (I was recently pulled away from my Northern English roots while in France. We had boudin noir, and it was significantly silkier, fattier, softer and more lustrous than the English version; and to my palate at least, it was far more aligned with wine and nuance.) Suffice to say, this is a super wine, fragrant and detailed, long and complex. Yes! 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Wine Advocate 97
