Dandelion Vineyards Lionheart of Barossa Shiraz

AUSSIE SHIPPING ERROR – HAPPY DAYS FOR THE SHIRAZ LOVER!
Oops a daisy – the winery has accidentally shipped a parcel of the Trophy & 5-GOLD medal winning 2018 vintage (it was meant to be 2020!) and rather than send it back they’ve decided to keep, discount it and let Shiraz lovers on this side of the ditch enjoy this absolute beast of a Barossa Shiraz now with 5 years bottle age under its belt and drinking gorgeously right now.

What an absolute treat to be able to an old vine Barossa Shiraz that’s now had a bit of bottle age under its belt and the legs to another decade for sure. This 2018 vintage has a seriously impressive swag of awards and reviews right across the globe…

Trophy Best Shiraz, 95/100 & Platinum Medal (Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition USA 2020)
Gold medal (San Diego Int’l Wine & Spirits Challenge 2020)
Gold medal (China Wine & Spirits Awards 2019)
Gold medal (NZ Int’l Wine Show 2019)
Gold medal (Woman Wine & Spirit Awards UK 2020)
92/100 (James Halliday’s Wine Companion)
91/100 (Decanter World Wine Awards 2020)

Dandelion’s making wishes come true. There’s got to be magic behind the label to make Aussie wine guru James Halliday’s list of Top 10 Best New Wineries that’s for sure.

A fusion of vineyards and vignersons across three families in South Australia. So, who are the Dandelions? They’re Elena (trophy winemaker and, we might add, trophy wife!), Zar (Elena’s husband, typist and other jobs TBA) and winegrowers Carl, Peggy, Fiona and Brad. Oh, and Madison the dog.

The Lionheart is named after their vigneron Carl. They hail this guy as king of the jungle when it comes to old vine Barossa Shiraz.

A powerful, dense, full bodied beast. It’s loaded with spicy, dark fruit flavours that make Aussie Shiraz lovers simply lick their lips! Pounce on it now.
