Dark black purple with flashes of violet and an hypnotizing indigo. Dark just-ripe plums straight from the tree; hints of rich freshly turned sods, moss, blueberry, rose petals and an outlier of faint oaks savoury spice. Liqueur chocolate with musk and nutmeg are then aerosolized and a pure, measured hedonism is realised by the barest Troy Ounce. A phantom. It is the keen and persistent, rail-like acid structure of this fine red wine that enables all of its opulence and generosity to shine rather than to blind. A savoury fruit profile highlights dark berry and blackberry flavours. There is mint and mulberry, black cherry and blackcurrant, pepper and plum. The palate is also attractively grainy, with that forementioned acidity carrying a very long and drying finish.
Tasting Note
Dandelion Vineyards defies normal description, it is perhaps Australias most quixotic fusion of vineyard and vigneron. Every bottle signs off with – Wish you were here… Every wine is sourced from a single site. Founder, owner, winemaker – Elena Brooks – is a polymath and perfectionist on a lifelong vinous treasure hunt, following the inspiration of the Dandelion Flower’s Wishing Clock. Vineyards = Family. Wines = Children. Serious stuff. Proper fun, absolutely.
