Dandelion Vineyards Lions Tooth of McLaren Vale Shiraz Riesling 2022

Yes, you read it correctly, this is Shiraz with about 6% Riesling. It’s a little different, but of course there are plenty of examples using a dab of white fruit behind the ears of the red. Shiraz Viognier is the best known and Peter Lehmann back in the day used to work Shiraz with a little Muscadelle. Spicy cherry and plum with a slightly leafy character. The palate has a grainy chalky texture with a firm core of tannins and a light touch of oak. Vibrant and brilliant.
