| Description: | 90 pts Wine Enthusiast September 2023 Juicy fruit bursts from the glass of this crowd-pleaser. Floral and spice notes follow through to the satiny, light to medium weight palate. There's a touch of alcohol heat, but the succulent fruit and sandy tannins are stars of the show. An excellent intro to modern South Aussie Grenache. 90 pts Ned Goodwin Mw, Halliday Wine Companion Bright, tangy and easy. Black cherry, raspberry, orange zest and a grind of white pepper. Feels suave and mid weighted, rather than full. A versatile everyday drinker. 90 pts Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate Having spent some time with Giles this past week tasting component parcels of each of the Grenache cuvées that he makes for the Thistledown range, I look at this 2021 Gorgeous Grenache in a whole new light. Yes, it is made in a juicy, easy-drinking fashion. However, the fruit quality that goes into this wine (from both Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale) builds a wine of eminent balance in the mouth. This is lighter-framed and shaped by fine powdery tannins, yet laden with juicy fruit. Plenty to love—drink it early. 2022-2027 90 pts James Suckling A pretty nose of red cherry, rose, chicory root, nutmeg and rosemary. Medium- to full-bodied with silky tannins. Bright and fresh acidity drives the palate. Smooth texture, with a lingering and mouthwatering finish. Vegan. Drink now. 90 pts & Top Value – Huon Hooke, The Real Review |
