Description
Headed by one of Australia’s brightest winemaking talents, Elena Brooks, Dandelion Vineyards brings together an array of heirloom vineyards and artisan craftsmanship, creating wines that, while broad and varied, still have clarity and interest.
Elena’s passion for winemaking began in her native Bulgaria, where she developed her skills from a young age, translating tastings and building her wine vocabulary before making her first wine at 16.
Today, she applies her expertise across South Australia’s premium regions, such as Adelaide Hills, Eden Valley, McLaren Vale, Barossa, and Coonawarra, crafting densely packed wines that are bright, transparent, and marked by a sensitive approach to oak. With a commitment to sustainability and quality, Dandelion Vineyards produces wines that capture the essence of their unique terroir, each bottle reflecting the dedication and care put into its creation.
