Dandelion Barrosa Shiraz 2020

The Lionheart of Dandelion Vineyards is an old vine Barossa vineyard. These ancient, gnarled vines, many over a hundred years of age, are not only surviving but thriving on their own roots in some of the oldest soils on the planet.

In the last week of April whole bunches of Shiraz are hand harvested, then gently crushed and naturally fermented in open fermenters for eight days, hand plunged twice a day, before careful basket pressing into some new but predominantly older French Oak Barriques to finish fermentation. After 18 months maturation and a racking in the same oak, we bottled our Lionheart without filtration or fining, to capture the essence of the vineyard. Dandelion Vineyards Lionheart is ready to drink and will reward cellaring and decanting. 

Normally retailing around $30 and over, this is a steal! Big, concentrated and spicy Shiraz with impressive power, hence ‘Lionheart’! Quintessential Barossa Shiraz from over 100 years old Barossa vines.
