GOLD MEDAL - CLASS 1
2010 Royal Brisbane Wine Show 2010 Wonderland of the Eden Valley Riesling
BRONZE MEDAL
Decanter World Wine Awards, Wonderland Riesland 2010
We've sold 50 cases of the Dandelion Lionhart Shiraz of the Barossa since we discovered it last November. And now the 96 point Dandelion Riesling is here just in time for Summer and we urge you to try it – it is that delicious! Whole bunches from their oldest Riesling vineyard, 101 years in 2012, in the heart of Dandelion Vineyard’s Wonderland the Eden Valley, were hand selected and picked.
Food pairing: Either immediately as an aperitif, or with almost any dish from salads to seriously spicy foods.
Wine Enthusiast (WE): 91 "The 2010 Wonderland of the Eden Valley Riesling has intense lime juice and lemongrass notes with nuances of green apple peel and crushed stones. Light to medium bodied, dry and with crisp acidity, this Riesling has a good concentration of citrusy flavors and a long zesty finish. Drink it now through 2018+." James Halliday (JH): 96 "Quintessential Eden Valley, with fragrant lemon and lime blossom aromas, the elegant palate driven by the pure fruit promised by the bouquet; has great balance, line and length. From a single vineyard planted in the 1880s; trophy 2010 Qld Wine Show for Best One-Year-Old White. Drink by 2025. 96 Points." - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion |
