Enchanted Garden Riesling

Enchanted Garden Riesling by Dandelion Vineyards

Enchanted Garden Riesling – Clear and bright with a golden colour, this wine is pure and powerful. Beautiful aromas of honeysuckle, dragon fruit, and citrus flowers are framed by musk and rose petal aromatics. The palate exhibits a deep citrus flavour complemented by tart green apple and lime flavours. A taut acidity brings the fruit flavours forward, toward a mouth watering finish.

The ‘Enchanted Garden’ vineyard was planted in 1910 and thrives to this day; a thriving cool climate 2.8 hectare Eden Valley site in Barossa. The soils consist of sandstone bedrock with ironstone gravels, quartz and red rock fragments on the surface, which provide great minerality for this Riesling.

Whole bunches were hand picked and destemmed without crushing the fruit to fill the press exactly. The free-run juice and pressings were fermented separately in small tanks at controlled temperatures between 11-13°C. The wine was bottled directly with minimal fining and filtration to capture the essence of the vineyard.

Dandelion Vineyards is a unique fusion of vineyards and vignerons. Our wines represent decades of experience, blending the fruit of our old vine gardens with the finest traditions of artisan winemaking.
Dandelion Vineyards are proven plantings that have stood the test of time. Our wish is to nurture the unique character of these vineyards and express their terroir in our wines. Capturing variety, vintage and vineyard requires
an enlightened approach and although vignerons see the Devil in every weed, we encourage the humble Dandelion amongst the vines as they suppress winter weeds, provide mulch in summer, and proffer their Wishing Clocks in spring to blow off and make our wish come true.
Nick Stock, one of Australia’s leading journalists, wrote about Dandelion Vineyards saying, “The approach is remarkably simple and sees Elena making wine from a suite of beautiful old vineyards across that blessed curve that runs from the Barossa, up through the Eden Valley and Adelaide Hills and down into McLaren Vale.”
