Obsessed grenache enthusiasts, Thistledown have searched out a few blocks of its white variant for this perky little number. Airs of poached pear (fruit and liquid), a faint spice note, perhaps a honeysuckle vibe, all held neatly in check. While there's a lovely tang mid-palate, the drinking reveals a mouth-watering chalky texture that stays in the zone effortlessly. Lots to like here.
