"92 Points. Distinctively and creatively packaged, this is a fresh, clean and well-crafted Adelaide Hills Sauvignon. White nectarines, orange blossom and grapefruit notes fill a perfumed bouquet and dance right through a pretty, lime-accented palate." - Tyson Stelzer, WBM Magazine.

"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. To capture variety, vintage and vineyard requires and enlightened approach. “When I see a weed I see the Devil” is an old grower’s mantra, but we encourage the humble Dandelion amongst the vines as they suppress winter weeds, provide mulch in summer, and their Wishing Clocks to blow off in Spring. Dandelion Vineyards is a unique fusion of vineyards and vignerons. Our wines represent decades of experience, blending the fruit of our heirloom vineyards with the finest traditions of artisan winemaking. Whole bunches from our most distinctive Sauvignon Blanc vineyard in the heart of the Adelaide Hills at Woodside were hand selected and picked on the last day of March, in the cool of early morning before sunrise then destemmed in small batches without crushing the fruit to fill our press exactly." - Notes from Dandelion Vineyards.
