2017 DANDELION VINEYARDS RED QUEEN OF THE EDEN VALLEY SHIRAZ

RRP $250 / 2057

Made from Colin Krohen’s Eden Valley vineyard planted over 100 years ago (1912). Hand-picked with one-third whole bunches, two-thirds crushed on top, openfermented, 11 days on skins, matured for 30 months in French oak (50% new). The density of the colour is striking, as is the depth and power of the fruit. This is an extraordinary wine, the intensity of its black fruits awe-inspiring, oak and tannins insisting in adding their say. 14.5% alc.
