Wines from the same manufacturer
Product Description
Additional Information
Dandelion Vineyards is a venture between marketing guru Zar Brooks and his winemaking wife, Elena. ‘When I see a weed I see the Devil' is an old viticulturist's mantra, which makes the labelling of this wine rather quizzical. However, at Dandelion Vineyards, we're told they actually encourage the dandelion to grow amongst the vines as it suppresses winter weeds and provides mulch in summer. Lionheart of the Barossa comes from The Lionheart vineyard in the Barossa with vines over a hundred years old, giving a rich, generous mouthfeel to this wine. Sweet blackberry, raspberry and plums on the palate with firm but fine tannins. It has a long, youthful finish. Matured for 18 months in French oak barriques. Magnificent inky black core with a very deep bright dark purple black hue. Pronounced dark plum, liquorice and blueberry aromas sail out of the glass with elements of lightly smoked vanillin cedar, fennel and spicy pepper also evident. Medium to full bodied with a rich fleshy yet elegant feel and fresh finish, the palate dishes up delicious ripe plum, liquorice and blueberry flavours underpinned by subtlety smoked vanillin cedar, fennel and spice. Concludes with a lick of bright acidity. Fine grained well integrated tannins, excellent depth and a long juicy blue to dark fruit aftertaste.
