The 2023 Dandelion Vineyards Menagerie of the Barossa Grenache Shiraz Mataro is a vibrant and expressive GSM blend from old vines in the Barossa Valley, showcasing both richness and finesse. The nose is lifted and perfumed, with raspberry, wild cherry and plum layered with spice, dried herbs and subtle earthy notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with juicy red and dark fruit, fine sandy tannins and lively acidity, creating energy and balance. Hints of pepper, savoury spice and gentle oak add complexity, leading to a long, smooth and slightly savoury finish. The style is bright, elegant and well-structured, offering depth without heaviness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Barossa GSM and a great choice for customers who enjoy Rhône-style blends with freshness and spice. Ideal for those looking for a balanced red with both fruit and savoury complexity. Not heavy—vibrant, layered and food-friendly. Drink now or cellar for 6–10 years. Perfect with roast meats, BBQ, lamb or hearty dishes.
