On the nose there is an intriguing mix of red plum aromas, alongside earth, crushed rose petal, soy and bay leaf notes. Rounded and rolling tannins take over on the palate, there is generosity and complexity without overindulgence, with woven flavours of red berry compote, green herbs, spice, pepper and shavings of dark chocolate making for a playful seriousness.
Fruit for this wine is sourced from adjoining blocks of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro at Gomersal in the Barossa and makes this historic ‘Menagerie’ field blend of three grape varieties.
Dandelion Vineyards is the venture of talented winemaker Elena Brooks, and her husband Zar. Their project makes wines from the Barossa and Eden Valleys, Fleurieu, the Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale.
