The 2024 Dandelion Vineyards Lioness of McLaren Vale Shiraz is a rich yet polished expression of McLaren Vale, showcasing both generosity and finesse. The nose is expressive and inviting, with dark cherry, blackberry and plum layered with cocoa, vanilla and gentle spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and supple, featuring ripe dark fruit, smooth tannins and balanced acidity that bring harmony and drinkability. Subtle oak adds depth, leading to a long, soft and savoury finish. The style is plush, modern and approachable, offering depth without heaviness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a versatile McLaren Vale Shiraz and a great crowd-pleaser. Ideal for customers who enjoy rich, fruit-driven reds with a smooth, polished texture. Not overly heavy—balanced, generous and easy to enjoy. Drink now or over the next 4–6 years. Perfect with grilled lamb, roast chicken or steak.
