Dandelion Vineyards "Menagerie of the Barossa" Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2020 14.5% 6x75cl

At the end of the old vine garden path at Dandelion Vineyards, there is a historic ‘Menagerie’ field blend of three grape varieties, adjoining blocks of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro at Gomersal in the Barossa.

On the nose there is an intriguing mix of red plum aromas, alongside earth, crushed rose petal, soy and bay leaf notes. Rounded and rolling tannins take over on the palate, there is generosity and complexity , with woven flavours of red berry compote, green herbs, spice, pepper and shavings of dark chocolate.

It is m̩énage a trois that makes wine truly of its time and place and although ready to drink immediately it will also reward cellaring and decanting.
