Description
"Fruit for Thorny Devil comes from a variety of some of the finest vineyards in McLaren Vale. Dry grown, old bush-trained vines and sandy, mineral strewn vineyards ensure that this is amongst our most delicious Grenaches. All ferments are wild with differing percentages of whole bunch, though every ferment has some. Extraction regimes are very light, with the aim of infusion rather than heavy extraction. Once pressed, the wine is stored in seasoned French oak of 300 & 500 litres for approx. 8 months before bottling. The resulting wine has the characteristic McLaren Vale perfume and spice with a beguiling texture and perfume that unfolds, layer by layer." - Winemaker Note
"A light, bright, cherry red in the glass. Pretty aromas of dried herbs, raspberry, sarsaparilla, bramble, clove and spice. Light in body, mouth-filling and with a lovely energy and purity on the palate. There's a drive of blue fruits, along with Asian spice, earth, textured tannins and crunchy, cranberry like acidity. Long and layered." - 92 Points, Aaron Brasher, The Real Review
