The 2023 Dandelion Vineyards Lionheart of the Barossa Shiraz (375ml) is a bold yet polished expression of old-vine Barossa fruit, offering richness in a convenient half bottle format. The nose is intense and inviting, with blackberry, dark plum and black cherry layered with hints of cocoa, spice and vanilla.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and plush, showing ripe dark fruit, smooth tannins and balanced acidity, with subtle oak adding depth and warmth. The finish is long, savoury and satisfying, combining power with freshness and drinkability.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a classic Barossa Shiraz in a smaller format - perfect for a premium solo glass or lighter occasions. Ideal for customers who enjoy rich, full-bodied reds with smooth texture and bold flavours. Not just powerful - there’s balance and polish. Drink now or over the next 5–6 years. Perfect with steak, lamb or hearty dishes.
