Thistledown “Fool on the Hill” Single Vineyard Grenache 2022På lager: På lager
Thistledown er ikke bare endnu et vinhus. Vinene er håndplukket og håndlavet af de allerbedste druer, vildgæret i hele klaser og uden industrielle tilsætninger. To Masters of Wine, Giles og Fergal, står for driften og de styrer benhårdt efter friskhed, terroir og good old Aussie juiciness. Vinene er ikke i hverdagsprislejet, men stadig regulære kup i deres liga.
The Fool on the Hill er dyrket i i Eden Valley på to små parceller som ‘bush-vine-Grenache’. Placeringen er en af de højeste Grenache-vinmarker i det sydlige Australien – 550 meter over havet – på mager jord, med pink kvarts og jernsten. Druerne
håndplukkes tidligt om morgenen, og bliver herefter hurtigt transporteret til vingården, hvor 20% af de hele drueklaser bibeholdes under vinificeringen. Vinen gennemgår først en skånsom gæring på betonæg, hvorefter den presses og lagres på 500 liters 2. & 3. års egetræsfade fra Frankrig.
De fremtrædende aromatiske kvaliteter, der efterhånden er blevet Thistledowns varemærke, er bestemt til stede, men smagen er mere krydret og fremviser mere muskel, end det vi normalt ser fra McLaren Vale. Vinen fremviser tekstur, intensitet og noter af blød, afrundet kirsebær akkompagneret af lune krydderier, hvilket giver en lang og vedholdende eftersmag.
96 points Robert ParkerThe fruit for this 2022 Fool on the Hill Grenache hails from the Mattschoss vineyard in Eden Valley, and the wine veritably explodes with crushed rocks, black earth, clove and dried star anise, raspberry leaf tea and dehydrated orange peel. This comes alive in the mouth, where it is savory but spicy, totally New World and a little bit febrile, all the while pushing this forge of raspberry-inflected flavor across the tongue and through to the finish. This is a ripping wine, left of center, super, precise, a bit gritty, awesome. it is really contained in its shape. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
93 points Houlbergs VinblogHer kommer Grenache druerne fra 2 små højtliggende parceller i Eden Valley ejet af vinavleren Joel Mattschoss, Der er anvendt 20% hele klaser i vinificeringen, hvor druerne spontangærer i betonæg med druernes egne gærceller og efter endt fermentering er vinen så presset og lagret i 500 liter franske egefade, der er par 2 eller 3 gange tidligere. Duften virker her mere plain og hverdagsagtig … en smule mere rustik, hvor der kommer nogle nødder, tobak, mørk chokolade og krydderier. Dermed kommer vinen også til at virke maskulin, grov og ikke så burgundisk som de foregående. Der er også en sandet note, mens frugten er kirsebær, hindbær og brombær. Næsten samme frugt kommer også frem ved smagen … brombær, tranebær, hindbær og sorte kirsebær, men det er både en dejlig, frisk frugt, let og vild … der kommer lidt lemon, men den har altså alligevel en sortere sjæl …
92 points Rene Langdahl JørgensenEn farisæer fra Eden Valley, men jeg tager den med alligevel. Der er ikke sandjord i Eden, men stokkene vokser højere oppe. Mere brutal, klart mere Sierra de Gredos-stil med bidskhed og tannin. Der er faktisk også granit i jorden her. Bragende kraftfuld og går endda i châteaneuf-retning med kraft, creme og omfavnende alkoholfornemmelse, som jeg ikke fandt i de andre vine fra Thistledown.
