Thistledown Wines is one of Australia’s most exciting and critically acclaimed producers, created by Masters of Wine Giles Cooke and Fergal Tynan. Based in South Australia, they specialise in small-batch, site-specific Grenache sourced from old bush vines in McLaren Vale, Clarendon, and Blewitt Springs, though they also produce wines from the Adelaide Hills and Riverland. Their guiding philosophy is simple but ambitious: to show Grenache as Australia’s greatest grape, by capturing the nuance and beauty of individual sites through meticulous farming and minimal-intervention winemaking.
