Wine making: The grapes were machine harvested in the cool of the evening. The juice was gently pressed in a traditional basket press before skin contact and naturally increased ferment temperatures assisted wine making to maintain colour. Within weeks, the processed wine was transferred to seasoned French oak barriques to mature for a further 18 months.
Appearance: Medium to deep purple
Aroma/Bouquet: Alluring dark red fruits, black pepper and spice aromas with a hint of vanilla oak

Barossa - Eden Valley Shiraz
Vineyard: Lionheart is named after Barossa‘s old vines from Carl Lindner’s Shiraz vineyard. This wine comes from ancient, gnarled vines; some a hundred years of age, that not only survive but thrive on their own roots in some of the oldest soils on the planet.
Season: Generous late winter rains replenished the soil profile followed into Spring. Consistent warm summer days with cool nights allowed for perfect slow ripening, maximising Shiraz bunch flavour. The vintage will be long remembered as an exceptional one.
Winemaking: Whole bunches of Shiraz were hand harvested, then gently crushed and naturally fermented in open fermenters for eight days, hand plunged twice a day, before careful basket pressing into some new but predominantly older French Oak Barriques to finish fermentation. After 18 months maturation and a racking in the same oak, we bottled our Lionheart with minimal winemaking artefact, to capture without filtration or fining, to capture the essence and purity of Carl’s vines. Dandelion Vineyards Lionheart is ready to drink and will reward cellaring and decanting.
Appearance: Intense crimson with youthful purple hues.
Aroma/Bouquet: Lifted blue fruits, blood plum, ripe blackberries and Christmas pudding-like spice flow out of the glass with spicy pepper, and hints of bramble and dark chocolate.
Palate: Generous mouth filling sweet blackberry, raspberry and plums cover the palate with lashings of sweet spice. Firm but fine tannins and dark chocolaty nuances continue throughout the lengthy palate with youthful finish.
Food Pairing: Perfectly matched with all richly flavoured foods, meats, stews, game or mature hard cheeses. Alluring and aromatic on the palate, Lionheart commands company with food and friends.

Vineyards: N/A
Season:The 2016 vintage had a dry start through the winter, followed by a warm spring. This encouraged flowering to begin with a high expectation of flowers developing into fruit set. Minimal disease pressure was a positive but challenging with the summer season; dry and extremely hot. By the end of December some rain was received with a decent rainfall in March. The vintage harvest was earlier than expected but given the warm and dry season was a relief to grapevines; in particular old dry grown vines.

Palate: Blackberry, cassis, plum and dark cherry are supported by hints of pepper, spice, licorice, chocolate and espresso.

Barossa - Eden Valley Shiraz
Three Shiraz bottles beautifully presented in a Australian made wooden gift box, for the ultimate premium red wine lover. Hand-crafted, single vineyard Shiraz, grown in northern Eden Valley barossa region.
James Halliday - 2019 Wine Companion - 'One of those stories that seems to be to good to be true. It is over 100 years since the Schilling family cleared the land of its granite boulders, built cottages from the rocks and planted a vineyard. In the late 1970's the stone - walled, south-facing block was sold and when the vine pulled scheme was legislated, the new owners were quick to remove the vines.
Another decade passed and the property was again on the market. Eventually viticulturist Peter Raymond and wife Melissa purchased it, and set about preparing 3.6 hectares for hand planting. As they arrived one Saturday morning to begin the long task, they found a group of octogenarian men armed with picks and shovels to help hand plant 3500 vines on what they regarded as holy viticulture land.
Penfold's now buys most of the grapes for it's RWT Shiraz at tip - top prices, but the Raymond's keep enough to make a small amount of wine each year'.
No more needs to be said, the Gnadenberg Road Shiraz by Garden & Field Wines will be noted as one of Barossa's iconic wines in the future.

Barossa - Eden Valley Shiraz
Vineyard: The Red Queen of the Eden Valley vineyard turned 102 years in vintage 2013. These ancient gnarly vines over a hundred years of age, are not only surviving but thriving on their own roots in some of the oldest soils on the planet.
Season: A dry start to the vintage growing season with expected cooler evenings and seasonal late frosts. Due to the site elevation and vineyard establishment, little frost settled on the grape vines. A warm start to the summer season ensured a strong and healthy canopy structure. Along with warm weather, rain arrived and was higher than expected throughout January and February. The Shiraz grapes were not affected by this due to minimal irrigation which allowed the Shiraz grapes to ripen with full colour and flavour intensity.
Wine making: The Red Queen of Eden Valley was handpicked and gently pressed with whole bunches in open top fermenters and left to mature in new French oak for 2 and a half years. Prior to bottling the wine was unfiltered & unfined to maintain maximum colour for long term cellaring.
Appearance: Deep purple-crimson.
Aroma/Bouquet: An immensely complex, dark, brooding character, red and black fruits, pepper and spice, with licorice and tar.
Palate: Lingering black fruit on the palate, with pepper seasoning. There is an incredibly deep range of flavour, a mix of red and black berries complimented by vibrant pepper and leaf notes. Elegant tannins and lingering acidity help extend the finish and the overall balance is impeccable.
Food Pairing: Perfectly matched with all richly flavoured foods, meats, stews, game or mature hard cheeses. Alluring on the palate our Red Queen commands company with food and friends.
