Deep, dark and beautifully composed, it opens with violets, blackberry and cassis, followed by twists of liquorice, tobacco leaf and tomato vine, with just enough cinnamon, smoke and savoury spice to keep things deliciously grown-up. The palate is taut and textural, full of ripe black fruit and dark red berries, with a lovely thread of freshness running through the richness. Fine, youthful tannins are everywhere, giving it shape, grip and the promise of even more to come with time. Powerful, polished and unmistakably Cabernet, this is a wine with backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"1143\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"825\"\u003eFor when:\u003c\/strong\u003e there is fire involved, something slow-cooked is on the menu, and everyone is staying longer than planned.\u003cbr data-start=\"932\" data-end=\"935\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"935\" data-end=\"950\"\u003ePairs with:\u003c\/strong\u003e rib of beef, chargrilled steak, roast lamb, smoky barbecue dishes, or hard-aged cheeses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1145\" data-end=\"1743\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eDandelion Vineyards is all about old vineyards, careful hands and letting place speak clearly in the glass. This Cabernet comes from the dry-grown Stranger’s Reach vineyard on the Fleurieu Peninsula, overlooking the Finniss River wetlands and cooled by the Great Southern Ocean and Lake Alexandrina. Hand-picked by family and friends, then matured for 18 months in mainly older French oak, it captures both the power and restraint of this remarkable site. It is seriously impressive now, especially with a decant, but it has the structure and composure to reward a good few years in the cellar too.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55486904435073,"sku":null,"price":14.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2022_PrideoftheFleurieu_CabernetSauvignon_DandelionVineyards.png?v=1780417757","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2022-pride-of-the-fleurieu-cabernet-sauvignon-dandelion-vineyards","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
