Dandelion Vineyards

2019 RED QUEEN OF THE EDEN VALLEY SHIRAZ

From Colin Kroehn’s vineyard planted in 1912, that he has looked after for over 65 years. Hand picked and sorted, partially crushed, wild open ferment for 10 days, hand plunged, basket pressed into French barriques (50% new, 50% 1yo) to finish fermentation, 30 months’ maturation. Dense opaque colour; paints the glass. Crammed to the gills with black and purple fruits of every persuasion (sic), this full-bodied red wine also has a castle of tannins and oak. JH 14.5% alc.

$250 / 2055
