This is a new-wave, new-world, energetic Grenache that we're all learning to love. Ignore the lifted alcohol - it's not noticeable. This charming, pure and very soft wine has lovely sweet ripe red fruits and floral notes. Warm white pepper spice and sage add depth. It's round and smooth with subtly grainy tannin, mineral freshness and a long, tense finish that will unravel with time. Made by hand in small batches, it perfectly illustrates the benefits of great sites and intelligent winemaking. Founded by Masters of Wine, Giles Cooke & Fergal Tynan, Thistledown Wines is known for its hand-made, small batch wines.
