Dandelion Vineyards Lion's Tooth of McLaren Vale Shiraz Riesling 2020 is a unique blend of two iconic grape varieties from the McLaren Vale wine region in South Australia. This vintage displays a deep ruby color with purple hues and offers a bouquet of blackberries, violets, and spice on the nose. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, with flavors of dark fruits, black pepper, and a touch of earthiness. The addition of Riesling brings a zesty acidity to the wine, adding complexity and balance.

 

The 2020 vintage in McLaren Vale was marked by a dry growing season and a cool harvest, resulting in wines with bright acidity and concentrated flavors. This wine pairs well with hearty meat dishes, such as lamb or beef, as well as with mature cheeses.
