Legacy of Australia

The ‘Legacy of Australia’ is vigneron and lifelong champion of old vines and fortified wines, Carl Lindner, whose family has been making this wine since 1944. The grapes are picked at optimum ripeness and left to dry in the sun, after which the they're fermented and added to a solera system.

Lionheart of the Barossa

Lionheart Shiraz is aptly named after Barossa's lifelong champion of old vines and Dandelion's co-founder, Carl Lindner. These ancient, gnarled vines, many over a hundred years of age, are not only surviving but thriving on their own roots in some of the oldest soils on the planet.

Menagerie of the Barossa

At the end of Zar and Elena’s old vine garden path there is a historic ‘Menagerie’ of three grape varieties, with adjoining blocks of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataró. 70% Grenache, 25% Shiraz, 5% Mataró, Native fermentation, 100% whole-cluster in stainless steel, 12 months in seasoned French barriques

Enchanted Garden of the Eden

The "Enchanted Garden" was planted in 1910 and thrives to this day, a seven-acre Eden Valley Vine Garden lovingly tended by Sue and Stuart Woodman. Free run and pressed juices were vinified separately in small, stainless steel tanks.

Pride of the Fleurieu

This Pride of the Fleurieu Cabernet was grown in the family’s pride and joy, the ‘Stranger’s Reach Vineyard’, where low rainfall and deep alluvial soils encourage Cabernet to ‘populate or perish’. Native fermentation, destemmed and crushed in stainless steel, 18 months in French barrique (20% new)
