DOWN UNDER WONDER

Dandelion Vineyards Lionheart of the Barossa Shiraz

VINTAGES ESSENTIALS 167189, $21.95

This recent addition to the Vintages Essentials portfolio is a big, bold Shiraz crafted from very old Barossa Valley vines. As you’d expect from such a venerable provenance, the wine has generous flavours of black fruit and Christmas-pudding spice followed by firm tannins and notes of chocolate—a perfect pour with roast or grilled red meat.
