The wine has a deep magenta-purple colour and an aromatic profile that develops considerably in the glass.\u003cbr\u003eDandelion's traditional approach is central to the wine's character. Whole bunches of Shiraz were hand harvested and naturally fermented in open fermenters, with regular hand plunging. The wine was then basket pressed into a combination of new and predominantly older French oak barriques before spending approximately 18 months maturing in oak.\u003cbr\u003eIt was bottled without filtration or fining, helping preserve the vineyard's character. \u003cbr\u003eCompared with simply fruit-driven Barossa Shiraz, the 2023 Lionheart brings greater savoury detail, with earthy, floral, mocha, and liquorice nuances alongside its ripe fruit. It is approachable now, but its structure also makes it a candidate for further cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2023 Tasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppearance: An intense, almost impenetrable dark purple and magenta colour with youthful vibrancy.\u003cbr\u003eNose: The 2023 vintage opens with ripe plum, black cherry, blueberry, and blackberry, followed by layers of dark chocolate, cocoa nib, espresso, earth, liquorice, and sweet spice.

What makes Lytton Springs different from other Zinfandel wines?\u003cbr\u003eA. Lytton Springs is a field blend from old vines, combining Zinfandel with complementary varieties like Petite Sirah and Carignane. This creates greater complexity and balance compared to single-varietal Zinfandels.\u003cbr\u003eQ. Is the 2022 vintage ready to drink now?\u003cbr\u003eA. Yes, it is approachable now with decanting, but it will continue to evolve and improve with ageing over the next decade.\u003cbr\u003eQ. How does 2022 compare to 2021?\u003cbr\u003eA. The 2022 vintage is slightly richer and more fruit-driven, while 2021 is more structured and restrained. Both are excellent, but 2022 offers earlier drinkability.\u003cbr\u003eQ. Can I cellar Ridge Lytton Springs 2022?\u003cbr\u003eA. Absolutely.
