Hillcroft Thistledown Barossa Shiraz 2008
- We've wasted nothing on a heavyweight bottle, stupidly thick paper for the label or an outrageously expensive cork, every spare penny has been spent on what counts - the juice!
- Peter Leske has unearthed a small parcel of first-class Barossa Shiraz.
- This special fruit is also from the highly acclaimed 2008 vintage.
Produced from the fruit of various premium vineyards blended creating a balanced wine of real pedigree. 12 months in a mix of top-quality French and American oak has imbued this wine with layers of vanilla and savoury spiced complexity that surround a body of deep, dark and concentrated dark fruits. Another 2 plus years of bottle age has softened everything out, allowing time for the complementing characteristics to sing together in perfect harmony.

Winemaker: Peter Leske
Country: Australia
This is one of those very rare things for a Wine Buyer when you get a call from a friend with an utterly brilliant parcel of wine at an astonishingly good price. Big thanks to our long standing friendship with Aussie winemaker and all round top-bloke Peter Leske. When he was asked to find a home for said parcel he immediately thought of us.
