Dandelion Vineyards 'Enchanted Garden of the Eden Valley' Riesling 2022 Review
Elena Brooks got her start in wine working with her mother in Bulgaria at a young age. She took this passion with her, making wine around the world before settling in Australia, where she founded Dandelion Vineyards. This Riesling is a testament to her and her team's skill and focus. It has a wet slate (like after a rainstorm) nose with fruit just beneath in the form of juicy apples. The mouthfeel abounds with full, round fruit framed by good grippy acidity that clings then releases into the palate. This wine is expertly balanced between deep fruit and angular acidity. The harmonious palate makes this wine a joy to sip on its own, but it would also work well with a variety of dishes.
