The 2022 Dandelion Vineyards Firehawk McLaren Vale Shiraz is a bold and expressive single-vineyard red from South Australia, showcasing depth and elegance. The nose reveals dark plum, blackberry and raspberry, layered with notes of chocolate, spice, vanilla and subtle floral hints.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with concentrated dark fruit, smooth yet structured tannins and a creamy, flowing texture balanced by fresh acidity. Oak maturation adds complexity with touches of toast and caramel, leading to a long, refined and savoury finish. The style is rich, powerful and polished, offering intensity with finesse.
