Dandelion Vineyards Lionheart of the Barossa Shiraz 2024 375ml (Half Bottle)

The Lionheart is Dandelion's 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 third week of March 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 and American Oak Barriques to finish fermentation. After 18 months maturation and a racking in the same oak, we bottled our Lionheart with minimal winemaking artifact, to capture the essence and purity of the vines. Dandelion Vineyards Lionheart is ready to drink and will reward cellaring and decanting.
