Category: Wine
Sub-Category: White Wine

Dandelion Vineyards Wonderland of the Eden Valley Riesling 2022 is a vibrant and expressive wine that showcases the unique terroir of the Eden Valley region in South Australia. On the nose, this Riesling has an intense bouquet of citrus and floral notes, including lemon, lime, grapefruit, and jasmine. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing, with lively acidity that balances the sweetness of the fruit flavors. The citrus notes continue on the palate, with additional hints of green apple and minerality. The finish is long and lingering, with a zesty and mouth-watering aftertaste.

This wine is made with grapes from old, dry-grown Riesling vines that are over 100 years old, and are grown in sandy loam soils that are rich in quartz and ironstone. The grapes are handpicked and fermented with natural yeasts, before being aged on lees in stainless steel tanks for four months. This process allows the wine to develop its unique flavor profile and crisp acidity, while retaining the purity of the fruit flavors. This wine is an excellent example of the quality and character that can be found in Eden Valley Riesling, and it would pair well with seafood, salads, and spicy dishes.
