Thistledown Wines Thorny Devil Grenache 2023
G 90
Steeped blackberry tea, blueberries and blackcurrant. A hint of cassis. Kalamata olive and wild thyme. Long thorough line of acidity and taut skin tannins. Light to medium modified. A wine for consumption. Zingy, lithe and utterly drinkable. This verges on the smashable, maybe chilled and drunk with merriment. Drink now Ulithorne Epoch Rosé 2024 G 90 Water pink hues in the glass. Pickled ginger, galangal and redcurrant. Wild strawberries with lime zest. A stream of vibrant acidity and seamless flow of tangerine and kumquat. Pink peppercorn and lychee. Dry and succulent, delicate and fine. Drink now Varney Wines Entrada Rosé Grenache 2024 G 90 The palest cotton candy pink in the glass. Watermelon rind, white strawberry and grapefruit. Orchard apples and cut peaches. A slip of lemon juice and jasmine tea. This is on the crunchy, linear side of Rosé; close your eyes and it’s a fresh zingy white wine with the pretty aromas of a spring morning. Bone dry and made for fun. Drink now–2025 Wirra Wirra Flower Vineyard Grenache 2023 G 90 Redcurrants on the vine, morello cherry and leaf litter. A touch of blue fruit and shiso leaf. Tannins are dry and astringent with a backbone of cassia bark and cumin. Lively and fresh with significant leafy notes that suggest a herbal edge to the wine. Its thirst-quenching acidity gives the wine a flirty side. Drink now Yangarra Circle Collection Rosé 2024 G 90 A blend of varieties with the highest proportion being Mourvèdre at 38%. Watermelon rind, radish and cranberry juice. The wine has a bergamot aroma, with citrus also being taken from the orange family. A Campari-like bitterness complemented by a true dry finish. This screams Mediterranean food, clean and drizzled with olive oil. Drink now Yangarra Circle Collection Grenache Blanc 2024 G 90 An alluring mix of green pear skin, orchard apples and spring herbs. Dill, sage and celery heart. A lemon pith citrus core that leans to green tea tannins and raw camel nut creaminess. This sits in the camp of those Austrian food-friendly varieties – white pepper abounds. Intriguing; hard to stop thinking about the possible delights of wine pairings. Drink now
