Thistledown 'Cunning Plan' Shiraz

Shiraz

 

McLaren Vale, Australia

 

Masters of Wine, Giles Cooke & Fergal Tynan, shared vision for a more elegant, textural interpretation of Australian wine. With access to many of the best vineyards, and winemaking by Giles, Thistledown champions South Australia’s old vine Grenache and have quickly garnered a reputation for being amongst the best in the country.

 

Giles and Fergal met in a bar the night before they began the first year of the Master of Wine course in 1998. Both subsequently passed the exam and eventually came to work together, founding Thistledown in 2010.
