Dandelion Vineyards, Eden Valley (Australia) 2016

Feb 8, 2017

By Rich Cook

This is one of two fabulous Rieslings from Dandelion, and while this is the less expensive of the two, it’s a stunning wine.  Sweetly floral on the nose, it also shows aromas of wet stone lime, leading you to expect a little sugar on the palate.  Then the acid hits your tongue and lights up the bone-dry character with flavors of lime, granite and spice.  Amazing age-worthy Riesling is becoming an Eden Valley signature thanks to Dandelion. A Platinum Award winner at the 2017 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
