The 2022 Dandelion Vineyards Lion’s Tooth of McLaren Vale Shiraz Riesling is a unique and aromatic Australian blend, co-fermented with a small portion of Riesling to enhance lift and freshness. The nose is highly perfumed, showing rose petal, wild cherry and blueberry layered with hints of plum, spice and a touch of citrus zest.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with juicy red and dark fruit, velvety tannins and lively acidity, creating both richness and vibrancy. Subtle oak and savoury notes add complexity, leading to a long, smooth and intriguing finish. The style is vibrant, modern and expressive, combining Shiraz depth with aromatic finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout alternative red and a great conversation wine. Ideal for customers who enjoy Shiraz but want something more lifted and aromatic. Not heavy—fresh, perfumed and layered. Drink now or over the next 5–8 years. Perfect with grilled meats, Mediterranean dishes or spiced cuisine.
