Wine Description
Whole bunches from our most distinctive Shiraz from the Pieri family’s Vineyard were hand harvested in the first week of March and
fermented on stalks in open fermenters on top of some Riesling skins for eleven days, hand plunged twice a day, before careful basket pressing into some new but predominantly older French Oak
Barriques to finish fermentation and enhance the
wine’s perfume and palate. After 16 months maturation and a racking in the same oak, we bottled this Lion’s Tooth with minimal winemaking artefact, to capture the essence of the vineyard.
Dandelion Vineyard’s Lion’s Tooth is ready to drink and will reward cellaring and decanting.
