Thisteldown The Quickening Shiraz, Barossa
The 2021 vintage lives up to the high expectations set by a welcome return to normal rainfalls in South Australia. There is slightly more accentuation to the ripe cassis and blackberry and less vanilla and clove. It is easy to pick out the individual flavours, and the strength of the fruit marks this out as a wine that is going to reap rewards when given cellar time. 2025 - 2032 – MP
Thisteldown The Quickening Shiraz, Barossa
Cassis, blackberry and black pepper are accompanied by vanilla, liquorice and leather on the nose. The black fruit-soaked palate hits the right note, all silky and ripe, supported by vanilla, clove, ink and pencil shavings. The finish is everything you would expect and more – a lively interplay of fruit and oak that bounces along the tongue. 2024-2030 – MP
