Dandelion Menagerie of the Barossa Grenache/Shiraz/Mataro 2023

Description

A bright, perfumed grenache, shiraz and mataro blend from a vineyard on Seppeltsfield Road in the Barossa Valley. There’s a raspberry edge to the fruit this year. Under that you’ll find satsuma plum, blueberry and boysenberry with layers of spice and hints of biltong, dried citrus rind, citrus blossom, gingerbread, char siu and warm earth. Medium bodied with a savoury lean to the pure, ripe fruits, plenty of spice, fine, sandy tannins and abundant energy and zip. Drink from: 2025. Drink by: 2042. Special Value. Score – 94.
