Thistledown Silken Beastie Shiraz 2018
$65.00
Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia
Producer: Thistledown Wine Company
Drawing on fruit from Ebenezer, Kalimna and Koonunga regions of north west Barossa, we pick low yielding fruit on the way up rather than the way down. Wild, partial whole bunch ferments, gentle extraction and sensitive use of oak have resulted in a wine that is both complex and concentrated yet pleasingly light on its feet.
