Dandelion Vineyards | Legacy of Australia PX (Half Bottle) -NV

This delicious fortified Pedro Ximenez is pale amber in colour with aromas of dried figs, sultanas, dates, toasted hazelnuts and spices. It is very sweet, luscious and full in the mouth with exceptional concentration of nutty dried fruit flavours, a brilliant spine of refreshing acidity, and a very long finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Medium amber in hue and is remarkably drinkable and complex. Think pecans or walnuts in a light caramel-honey sauce, not too sweet or unctuous, with great acidity that enlivens and prolongs the finish.

• James Halliday: Fully sweet on the palate but rich rather than liqueur-like, with a soft, slightly drying finish.

Producer Information

Dandelion Vineyards is a fusion of vineyards and vignerons working with old vineyards and artisan winemaking. Zar Brooks and his winemaker wife Elena have teamed up with vignerons Brad Rey and Carl Lindner to produce a range of wines from their favourite vineyards in key regions in South Australia. Their aim is to nurture the character of the vineyards and express the terroir in the wines. As James Halliday states in his 2011 Australian Wine Companion, "It may be a dauntingly competitive marketplace, but there can be few more promising new ventures than this one".The vines for this rare XO Pedro Ximenez have an average age of 30 years. Vigneron Carl Lindner`s family have being growing PX and producing the fortified wine there since 1944. Traditionally made using artisanal winemaking practices, this wine is hand blended and bottled without fining or filtration.Traditionally grown and vinified, the now rare Pedro Ximénez was first fortified by his family in 1944 and now averages 30 years of age. This wine is hand blended and bottled without fining or filtration and is best drunk within a week of opening, and we trust with a glass raised to Carl’s and his family’s foresight.
