Dandelion Vineyards `Menagerie of the Barossa` from Barossa, Australia, is an opulent, Grenache-dominant, still red wine. This dry blend of Grenache, Shiraz, and Mataro is crafted from hand-picked grapes, undergoing whole bunch fermentation with ambient yeasts and hand plunging, before maturing for 12 months in old French Oak barriques. It presents a deep red hue with violet notes. The nose is brimming with fresh blackberries, white pepper, dried herbs, black olives, and cocoa powder. The palate offers warm, dark fruit flavours complemented by delightfully grippy tannins, leading to a complex and satisfying finish. This versatile wine pairs wonderfully with rich red meats or mature cheeses.
75.0CL , 14.0% ABV
Vinification
After hand picking selected bunches, the grapes were left to whole bunch ferment together in open top fermenters with ambient yeasts. Hand plunging took place before basket pressing into old French Oak barriques. The wines then spent a further 12 months in the same oak, before bottling with minimal winemaking, to capture the essence of the vineyards.
