NEW vibrant exclusive Grenache – from Grenache Kings at the super impressive Thistledown Wines! In the 2026 Halliday Wine Awards Giles Cooke’s Thistledown picked up THREE Trophies – including Best Wine of the Year – for his 99pt 2024 This Charming Man Grenache. Earlier this year, the estate bagged FOUR Trophies, including Wine of Show (again for a Grenache) PLUS the title of Bushing Monarch at the prestigious McLaren Vale Wine Show. Thistledown was set up by Giles Cooke MW, who now owns the business along with longtime right-hand man Paddy Gilhooly, and his wife Laura Samson. It’s No.16 in Halliday’s Top Australian Wineries, in The Real Review's TOP 10 Australian wineries and “…is in the Grenache vanguard, but much more… brilliant Thistledown is on track to be even more exciting…” Giles works with a network of trusted growers, both to show off the strength and traits of single sites – and also varietal integrity, through wines using fruit from multiple spots. Just like this one. Sometimes winemakers seem capable of magic – turning grapes into amazing wine. The name Wizard & Farmer honours the invaluable role that the humble grape farmer plays in this mystical alchemy – a magical collaboration that’s produced this delicious contemporary Grenache. It's supple, succulent and silky, with fragrant redcurrant and pomegranate fruit laced with warm exotic spices. Fresh, pure bright and very versatile – drink it chilled or in front of a fire.

Daniel Ricciardo Secret Sauce. A red blend so good, I had to share it. Wine Made with my great frieds at St Hugo.

Medium red with a purple hue in the glass, Jim Barry The Forger Shiraz opens with a brooding array of purple fruits with a hint of violet lift then countered with notes of cinnamon and sweet oak char. The palate is packed with the rich brambly fruit which follows on from the nose. Fine, chalky tannins give the wine a plush, velvety texture that fills the length of the palate. The Forger has a rich, lingering, persistent finish and is ideal for cellaring.
