Dandelion Vineyards, McLaren Vale (Australia) Shiraz-Riesling 2017

 Delicious Shiraz that really benefits from the addition of 5% Riesling.  That small amount of white wine helps pop the aromatics open and adds a zing to the acidity.  It works like a charm here, helping to showcase ripe berry flavors, soft pepper and integrated oak spice that come across in a mouth filling texture and linger long in let’s have some more fashion.   A star from the region.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
