All around the world, the bee is a superstar in our ecosystem; a bellwether one would say. We view the bee as the barometer to the vineyard’s health and its biosphere. Healthy Bee’s; Happy Vines! In tribute to this we have adorned our Shiraz with a busy bee. DisplayingPlum,Licoriceand highlights ofBlackcurrant.

GI : 50:50 mix of Angaston (Eden Valley) and Ebenezer (Barossa Valley). Deep cherry red with plum purple hue. Blackberry and raspberry with star anise and hazelnut characters on the nose. Gratifying with succulent blackberry fruits with a full mouthfeel and excellent depth of flavour. Richness and velvety smooth tannins lead to a persistent finish. Matured in French oak (20% new) for 24 months (4 year air dried oak. Francois Frere and Taransaud Coopers – tight grain.) Perfect for char-grilled beef with vegetables, rich slow cooked meat dishes or ripe cheese platters. "A fine Barossa Shiraz of terrific value." Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot Tristan & Isolde is a medieval tale of two star-crossed lovers, Knight Tristan and Princess Isolde, told from the 12th century. Our Sorby Adams wine label honours John Couch Adams, an ancestor of Simon Sorby Adams, who mathematically proved Neptune's existence.

GI: Craneford (Eden Valley) and Ebenezer (Barossa Valley). Dark scarlet red with black edge. Wonderfully ripe and fragrant, the nose is filled with dark plum, cassis and subtle toasted almond. Beautifully weighted, the intense fruit flavours of plum and blackcurrant are complexed by earthy tobacco and oak spice. An elegant and flavoursome wine of harmonious fruit and polished tannins. Matured in French oak (20% new) for 24 months (4 year air dried oak. Francois Frere and Taransaud Coopers – tight grain.) Perfect for herbed lamb or salt and pepper pork on greens. "So very Cabernet, this is a fab drink from the Barossa's Sorby Adams. Well priced, this is drinking superbly now but will also reward medium-term cellaring." Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot & The Vintage Journal Tristan & Isolde is a medieval tale of two star-crossed lovers, Knight Tristan and Princess Isolde, told from the 12th century. The Sorby Adams wine label honours John Couch Adams, an ancestor of Simon Sorby Adams, who mathematically proved Neptune's existence.

Colour is deep red. The nose shows aniseed, tar, FruChocs and spicy oak. The fine palate entry has mulberry, cranberry, aniseed and liquorice flowing delicately with Rhone-like spicy, chewy, savoury tannins.

Intriguing aromas of rose petals and a summer pudding of lifted red fruits, berries and a hit of cinnamon and Asian spice. The palate is opulent, with intense red berries balanced by soft velvety tannins and supple oak with great balance from the acid reknown in Barossa Grenache. 'The cold, wet 2011 vintage hit the Barossa Valley particularly hard, wiping out huge tracts of vineyards. Dandelion's blend, then, came as a delightful surprise a tender, juicy, seductive drop that made the bottle seem too small. It's a blend of grenache (85 per cent), shiraz (10 per cent) and mataro (aka mourvedre or monastrell). The back label hints at how winemaker Elena Brooks and the Dandelion crew saved the day, "handpicking selected bunches" (that is, avoiding the rotten ones) of the three varieties for co-fermentation and ultimate success. What a moreish wine this is'. - Canberra Times, 15 May 2013, by Chris Shanahan.
