Dandelion Lionheart of the Barossa Shiraz 750ml

Vintage 2022

Dripping dark velvet and black red. Earth and blueberry and spices and plums. Lots of plums. This is the Barossa, after all. Both fruit aromatics and winemaking bouquet are heightened, but that Barossan fruit shines through, bringing authenticity and truth: dark chocolate, tar, aniseed, graphite, freshly laid blue road metal. Gently grainy and silky and voluptuous, and then come flooding in the tannins - long and small and very low-fi. These nicely chalky tannins then give way to more plum fruit flesh and skin. Acidity in the background. Sluicing shiraz flavours in all their purity. This makes for a red wine that is full of flavour, but also balanced and refreshing.
