2022 vintage followed in much the same vein as the much-lauded 2021. A little later than normal but the season was characterised by regular moderate rainfall, friendly temperatures and an elongated ripening period which allowed for an even spread of fruit over the harvesting period. This vintage displays muscular yet elegant silky black fruits couple with deep, rich, warming spices, hints of violet, mineral and black cherry.

Product Notes

Thistledown This Charming Man Old Vine Grenache is a truly tantalising tipple, rich in heritage from South Australia. It exudes a delightful amalgamation of flavours, from succulent red cherries and plum to indigenous spices. The ageing process in old barrels lends a sophisticated earthly tone, intensifying its innate warmth. Its beautifully balanced acidity partners perfectly with the wine's textured tannins, providing a lusciously long finish. This ruby-hued wine's unmistakable character and intricate flavour profile mirror the old vines' resilience, making it a viable indulgence for connoisseurs. This Charming Man is absolutely enchanting, wonderfully embodying Thistledown's passion for wines of distinction.
