Thistledown are Grenache experts and describe themselves as 'slightly obsessed with it'. Their obsession is obvious in this amazing example from their top-tier flagship range.
Bright pale ruby. Very fragrant nose of lavender, cranberry, orange rind and white pepper. Quite Pinot-like, with an elegant mix of red berries, pepper, woody herbs and spice, beautifully fine tannins, juicy acidity and a vibrant finish.
