Dandelion Vineyards "Menagerie of the Barossa" Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2021 14.0% 6x75cl

"94 points. Slurpilicious red and blue fruits, exotic spice, amaro, roasting meats, purple floral notes, gingerbread, cola and a whole lot of yum. Just deliciously fun, savoury drinking, and that is a beautiful thing." (James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion)

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.
