The Lionheart of Dandelion Vineyards is their old vine Barossa vineyard. 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. In the last week of April whole bunches of Shiraz were hand harvested, then gently crushed and naturally fermented in open fermenters for eight days, hand plunged twice a day, before careful basket pressing into some new but predominantly older French Oak Barriques to finish fermentation. After 18 months maturation and a racking in the same oak, we bottled our Lionheart without filtration or fining, to capture the essence of the vineyard. Dandelion Vineyards Lionheart is ready to drink and will reward cellaring and decanting.

This Pride of the Fleurieu Cabernet was grown in the family's pride and joy, overlooking the Finniss River wetlands, Tony Brooks and Prof. Barbara Santich's dry grown Stranger's Reach vineyard cooled by the Great Southern Ocean and Lake Alexandrina where low rainfall and deep alluvial soils encourage Cabernet to populate or perish. Selected bunches were hand picked by family and friends in the last week of March and gently crushed into open top fermenters. After 8 days fermentation the wine was then basket pressed into some new but predominately older French Oak Barriques for 18 months maturation and then bottled with minimal winemaking artifact, to capture the essence of the vineyard and will reward cellaring and decanting.

A very easy drinking maritime warm climate Cabernet Sauvignon. A core signature of blackcurrant and violets. Juicy palate with black fruits, cherry and currant with a touch of dried sage and a freshness of spearmint. The tannins are fine and polished. Totally delicious.

A decadent and indulgent expression of South African winemaking, crafted from grapes grown on the decomposed granite slopes of the Darling Hills, where cooling Atlantic breezes shape their character. A portion of the fruit is left to naturally raisin on the vine, lending richness and intensity before being blended with oak-matured Pinotage. The result is seductively smooth and full-bodied, with alluring aromas of Turkish delight, chocolate, red cherry and vanilla, followed by layers of plum, butterscotch and supple tannins. Rich, balanced and irresistibly moreish, it lingers long on the palate and pairs beautifully with berry or chocolate desserts, or savoury meat and pasta dishes.

This complex wine spoils you with flavours of raspberry, ripe red plum, vanilla, coffee, liquorice, chocolate and nuances of tobacco. It has an elegant structure with velvety tannins and a surprisingly lengthy aftertaste.

Displays flavours of black berries, black current, red berries and a tinge of vanilla. On the palate lies a good amount of fine tannins which will reward those who want to put this wine away. It will truly blossom with time.

Decades ago, a tractor launching a ski-boat off Yzerfontein was caught in a high tide and was never recovered - it can be spotted occasionally when tide is low. A rich and complex wine with ripe plum and dark berry flavours, forest floor and kelp with underlying toasted oak notes finishing with a smooth and textured palate from integrated barrel maturation. These concentrated flavours follow through on the palate combined with a fine tannin structure, gives this wine a rich and complex finish.

Bright crimson red appearance. There are enticing fragrant aromas of red fruits and white pepper on the nose. The palate exudes rich red fruits and blackberry notes. Full and generous structure, refined tannins and a lengthy finish.

'De la terre'; literally 'of the earth' is a reference to both the vineyard soils and the earth brick construction used for the winery and cellar door. De La Terre's winemaking methods are largely traditional with emphasis on minimal handling to retain the integrity and concentration of fruit. Food and wine matching is a particular focus; the wine style is designed to provide elegant wines to accompany food.

A bold expression of NZ Pinot Noir that ditches tradition in favour of raw, unfiltered fruit energy. Hand-picked and wild-fermented, it bursts with crushed raspberry, boysenberry compote and wild cherry. No oak, no fuss, just Pinot in its raw, fruit-driven glory. Light in tannin but packed with flavour, it's juicy and mouthwatering. Highly drinkable and unapologetically chillable, this Pinot is made for those who love New Zealand for what it does best - fruit. Can be served slightly chilled.

Juicy pomegranate that drive both the aroma and the palate. With flavours layered with just-picked raspberry, dried rose-petals, and an intriguing waft of cardamom spice. This is a great wine to pair with all types of food, but look towards Ottolenghi-esque fare to complement all the pomegranate and spice. The bright and fresh-fruit flavours make a great candidate for a chilled red on a sunny afternoon!

Black tea leaf and pink rose petals move then into smoky notes and sweet cherry, candy cola. The palate is generous and easy drinking with a smooth mid palate and a sprinkle of pepper.
