Thistledown Fool on the Hill Grenache Mattschoss Vineyard, Eden Valley, 2022

Lot

5235

Grape Variety

Grenache

Producer

Thistledown Wine Company/Alliance Wine

Pale ruby. A spellbinding nose with huge range of aromas including strawberry, raspberry, red cherry, cranberry, thyme, iodine, blueberry, black pepper, prune, and dried blackberry. The palate is lavish, with a bright core of red fruit plus blackberry, and oaky sweetness. What really stands out is the impressive alcohol / acidity / fruit balance. Grenache so often tips into steroidal body-builder but this is Rudolf rather than Dwayne. 2026–2032–MP
