Description
Dandelion Vineyards are proven plantings that have stood the test of time. We grow our own grapes and source from the best of family vineyards. 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 our growers see the Devil in every weed, we encourage the humble Dandelion amongst the vines as they suppress winter weeds and provide mulch in the summer. Founder and winemaker Elena Brooks makes regionally expressive and site-specific wines, across the regions of Barossa, Eden Valley, McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills. Our philosophy is to create wines focused on vineyard site and varietal purity. Our styles offer great acidity and structure making wines to be enjoyed with diverse food and great company. Modern wines for the modern palate.
