Natalie's Score: 92/100

Lots of oaky, smoky, toasty aromas. This full-bodied red wine has lip-smacking delicious aromas and flavours of black and purple fruit. Smooth and supple. Love the fact that this big shiraz is not filtered, giving us the full-on flavour experience. The grapes for this robust red wine come from vines 100 years old. The wine is open-fermented with wild yeast, then aged 18 months in French oak barrels, and is not fined nor filtered. This robust Australian Shiraz sources grapes from heirloom vineyards. Try this with lamb and rosemary.

Perry rated this wine as 92/100

Dandelion Vineyards Lionheart Of The Barossa 2016 is great value under $20. This Shiraz from the Barossa Valley is smoky blackberry and smooth dark plum, blueberry flavours on the palate. The Shiraz grapes were sourced from vines of over 100 years old and this full-bodied red wine is unfiltered - so, lots of flavour here. This vintage was awarded Gold at the New Zealand International Wine Show 2017. Drink now or hold. - Community Wine Reviews
