AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

At the end of our old-vine garden path there is a Fairytale come true, our 90 year old bush vine Grenache garden in Ebenezer.

After hand picking in the 2nd week of March our winemaker Elena Brooks let free run basket pressed juice ferment with natural indigenous yeasts in old French Oak barriques, then to sit on yeast lees for twenty weeks before bottling, without secondary fermentation or fining to capture the essence of our Fairytale of the Barossa.

This vintage of our Fairytale of the Barossa Rose has a high level of natural acidity, a low pH and less than 3.0g/L of residual sugar with just 13.2% alcohol and is truly of its time and place.

Description

Five Red Star Winery: James Halliday 2020 Australian Wine Companion
“This is a highly impressive partnership between Peggy and Carl Lindner, Elena and Zar Brooks and Fiona and Brad Rey. It brings together vineyards spread across the Adelaide Hills, Eden Valley, Langhorne Creek, McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley and Fleurieu Peninsula. Elena is not only the beautiful wife of industry dilettante Zar Brooks, but also an exceptionally gifted winemaker. It may be a dauntingly competitive marketplace, but there can be few more promising new ventures than this one.”

Gourmet Traveller Wine 2010 Best of the Best Nick Ryan

“Brooks has teamed up with his winemaking wife Elena, a woman whose talents are outweighed only by her tolerance, in an exciting new venture called Dandelion Vineyards. The approach is remarkably simple and sees Elena making wine from a suite of beautiful old vineyards identified by Carl Lindner and Brad Rey across that blessed curve that runs from the Barossa, up through the Eden Valley and Adelaide Hills and down into McLaren Vale. The result is a line-up of wines that show the best in dedicated viticulture and sensitive winemaking, abandoning clutter and artifice for purity and poise.”
