Thistledown – This Charming Man Single Vineyard 2021 6x 75cl Bottles

Description

On a beautiful hillside in the Clarendon sub-region of McLaren Vale, three generations of the Smart family have devoted their lives to Grenache. Decades have passed where precious few valued their crop and yet they endured. That this remarkable vineyard has sustained is down to one man, Bernard Smart and this wine pays homage to this charming man.

From a near-perfect vintage for the site, this wine displays muscular yet elegant silky black fruits coupled with deep, rich, warming spices, hints of violet, mineral and black cherry.
