Kalpa Imperial weaves fairy tales, political commentary and stories from the mouths of beggars into one compelling saga. A fantastical empire that has risen, and fallen, and risen again. Something novel from something old. A new translation of one of Argentina’s classics by the brilliant Ursula Le Guin.
That’s why we chose this Thistledown. Generally, Shiraz is known for its intense, savoury notes of black pepper, game, and dark chocolate. The Thistledown Gorgeous is co-fermented with a little Zibibbo (Muscat) to make something new and fresh, to add notes of nectarine and raspberry and spice. It’s a retelling of a familiar story. This is a Gorgeous-ly smooth wine, whose subtle tannic texture will carry you through political betrayals, mad emperors, and secret executions.
