Elena and Zar both grow their own grapes and source fabulous old vine fruit from some of the finest, old-vine family vineyards in Barossa, McLaren Vale, and Eden Valley and vinify with a Goldilocks amount of handling. The wines reflect the classic styles from their respective regions, i.e. high acid Riesling from Eden Valley, plush Shiraz from the Barossa, etc. As for the Dandelion logo, Elena chose this pesky little weed because it’s the heart and soul of the vineyard. It sprouts with the first site of life in the soil and air, and it eventually refolds back into the earth to become food for the vines. Today, Dandelion Vineyards is a member of Sustainable Winegrowing Australia and is currently working towards certification.
