Dandelion Vineyards 2019 'Lionheart of the Barossa' Shiraz

The 2019 Dandelion Vineyards 'Lionheart of the Barossa' is a captivating Shiraz with a deep, dark violet color that shines like a violet-plum moonshine. On the nose, it reveals a melange of ripe fruits, including damson plums, blackberries, and cherries, complemented by hints of olive, bay leaves, and freshly picked woody herbs like sage, rosemary, and thyme. A whisper of dark liqueur chocolate, cocoa, and vanilla adds to the aromatic complexity. The palate is characterized by a clean, clear, and welldefined profile, with etched minerality and savory notes layered over fine, powdery tannins. This Barossa Shiraz strikes a harmonious balance, offering beguiling fruit purity without overwhelming richness.
