At the Seaview end of Chapel Hill Rd, it’s old bush vines contrasted by a planting of much younger Grenache. Apparently, half of the vineyard was burned when a bird caught light on a power line, fell to the ground and set light to the vineyard! We were so glad that some of the amazing old vines are still there for us to use.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Tasting \u003cbr\u003e Aromatic and lifted on the nose with a beautifully layered, textural palate with wild strawberry and spice. \u003cbr\u003e Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. \u003cbr\u003e Points \u0026amp; Awards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e96 points - The Real Review\u003cbr\u003e 95 points - Robert Parker Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e 94 points _ Halliday Wine Companion\u003cbr\u003e 93 points - The Wine Front\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eViticulture\u003cbr\u003e Dry grown, old bush vines, grown on red-brown sandy loams with quartz and ironstone.

A gentle foot pressing helped establish the wild ferment. Once fermented, the wine was transferred to 300 litre used French oak hogsheads where it stayed for 6 months before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thistledown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43864839749856,"sku":"114696","price":52.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/thistledown-she-s-electric-old-vine-single-vineyard-grenache_1.jpg?v=1676648949","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/thistledown-shes-electric-old-vine-single-vineyard-grenache-2021-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
