Thistledown Gorgeous Grenache Blanc 2024

Grenache is Australia’s signature grape variety and Thistledown Wine Company is slightly obsessed with it. The white version is still rare in Australia but capable of beautifully textured, citrus laced wines of great drinkability.

An explosion of flavor meets suave, seductive personality! Bright, tangy citrus laced fruit with hints of honeysuckle and lemon balm. Taut, yet textured and complex, this is a beautifully crafted white that breaks the mould.

The 2024 Gorgeous Grenache Blanc leads with Golden Delicious apples, scraped vanilla pod, scratched lemon, juniper and kiwi fruit. In the mouth, the wine has ample flesh and plump to the fruit, which makes for an enhanced drinking experience. The acidity remains tightly coiled and tangy, but it works nicely in context with the shape and flow of the fruit. All told, this is nice wine. Straightforward, great summer drinking here.
