Dandelion Vineyards

McLaren Vale Grenache 750mL

Opaque with a clear rim-edge; bright, fresh, alluring. Aromas of e saline; sour berries and then blackberries and raspberries at season’s start; dried herbs and fermenting yeast. Pastrami from oak, but just, just… Savoury smells as if entering an old-fashioned delicatessen, a long time ago. The palate fresh, ripe plum. Balance and movement: deep and savoury, but with grenache’s unyielding fruitiness flying its flag. All the while this acidity nips at the meaty fruit flavours, making one wonder why all grenache cannot taste like this. Rounded yet sharp; long yet striking. Grenache for grown-ups. This wine is suitable for vegans.

The Treasure Trove is a part of our Firehawk Farm, a single biodynamically run vineyard perched atop an ancient ridge overlooking McLaren Vale the Willunga escarpment and the Gulf St Vincent. Firehawk is our Native Bird of Prey that soars over our vineyards; acting as scarecrow to other birds, rabbits and the like that eat ripening grapes.
