THISTLEDOWN WINES Sands Of Time Old Vine Single Vineyard Grenache, McLaren Vale

Old vines & sandy soil deliver a beautifully balanced Grenache with cherry blossom aromas, fresh berry palate and a long smooth finish

Delicious balance of strawberries and cream. Rose is made to a soft dryer style with minerality. To be celebrated for all occossions for its freshness, crispness and vibrancy.

This is a wine of great generosity and depth. The nose exhibits an abundance of purple fruits, mulberries and plums - with a mix of baking spices including nutmeg, cinnamon and star anise. The palate is fleshy and juicy with an almost velvet like texture. The Grenache adds fruit character and balanced acidity, the Shiraz fills out the wine and delivers early structure while the Mourvedre provides red fruits and dried herb notes and provides a core of fine tannins.

Plum, lifted cherry, spice, fine tannin, silky & plush mouth feel; easy drinking, mid weight wine. Made from friends of Ulithorne's vineyards in the sub region of Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale that show bright, primary, lifted fruit flavours.
