2023 Dandelion Lionheart of the Barossa Shiraz

Lionheart is Barossa Shiraz with its boots off - hearty, generous, and not trying to be anything fancy. Sourced from old vines that have been hanging on for over a century, this is a wine that’s all about flavour and drinkability.

The 2023 vintage is packed with dark plum, blackberry, and a little hint of spice, wrapped in soft tannins and a touch of oak that adds just enough polish without taking away its easygoing charm. It’s made the old-school way - hand-picked, wild-fermented, basket-pressed - but the end result is straightforward and delicious, not overworked or showy.

This is the kind of Shiraz you crack open midweek or bring to a barbecue, knowing it’ll keep everyone happy. Sure, it’ll age for a few years, but honestly, it’s made to be enjoyed now, with zero overthinking.
