Description
Thistledown "The Cunning Plan" Shiraz, McLaren Vale, South Australia, 2019
Grape: 100% Shiraz, 10 months' ageing in large French oak barrels. Wild fermentation using whole berries. Bottled unfined & unfiltered.
Great depth of ripe plum and blackberry fruit flavours. A full bodied wine with a succulent palate, lively spices and fine velvety tannins finishing with a note of mocha.
McLaren Vale, geologically one of the most diverse regions on earth, has long been the home to some of Australia’s finest expressions of Shiraz and "The Cunning Plan" is a great example of the style.
Low yielding and ultra-intense, Thistledown handle the fruit gently to capture the delicious berry fruit character, overlaid with subtle wood-spice.
Rated 92/100 points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, May 2020.
Drink with hearty stews, Asian hotpots, cold meat cuts.
