Welcome to Thistle Hill Wines
Great wine starts with great vines and a connection, and true commitment to the earth that sustains them. We believe this relationship with the land is at the core of the commitment to quality we are renown for. This commitment to “Go Organic” 35 years ago has proven to be a prescient one, and we are proud to carry it on and maybe someday hand it over to our children to do the same. Our vineyard is unusual, even in the organic world, because chemical sprays have never been used on our vines. We are as pure as you can get! You truly can taste the difference.
We offer a 100% money back satisfaction guarantee.
Illawarra Mercury “Award Winning Wines” by Kerry Skinner
Thistle Hill 2011 Riesling
“Another stunning riesling from one of Australia's oldest organic wineries. Aromatic and pure, pristine
citrus fruit flavours, minerally characters, a vibrant acidic backbone and a lingering, dry finish."
2011 Preservative Free Chardonnay
“impressive, almost semillon-like, clean and crisp with crunchy citrus on the nose and palate”
2011 Preservative Free Shiraz
“minimal oak treatment and was bottled just two months after vintage, yet there is loads of character here, intense plum and berry fruit flavours, lovely acidity and plenty of length”

"A dozen favourite NSW wines and wineries" by Huon Hooke
"The Thistle Hill wines are in outstanding form at present, with new winemaker Michael Slater in Charge.
The vineyard has been organically farmed for many years. The 2009 Riesling and 2009 and 2008 Erudgere
Shiraz Cabernets are among Mudgee's best."

SOMETHING DIFFERENT
THISTLE HILL, MUDGEE 2010 Preservative Free
"All the Thistle Hill wines are excellent of late: this one, with no added preservative, adds value to the vineyard's
organic status. Bright, fresh, simple cherry/plum and blackberry fruit-driven aromas, fresh and clean, with no
oxidative ill-effects. Good depth of flavour, balance and length. 89/100 Food: Mixed Grill."
