SKU: DANLIOSHI19
The Lionheart of Dandelion Vineyards is our 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 were 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 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. This wine is suitable for vegans.

”This is a delicious full-bodied shiraz, hitting all the right notes. Aromas of dark cherry and boysenberry segue to a slipstream of clove, mace and star anise. The oak, mostly older French and American, cuddles the seams without squeezing them too hard. Plump and soft. An effortless drink without being simple or underdone.”
