Wine of the Month, February 2025

We've picked a stunner from down under this month - if that's too corny a way of putting it. Australian Shiraz comes in many shapes and sizes, but if you're after a proper rich, bold, full-bodied one, Barossa Valley is the place to look.

Dandelion Vineyards have got that approach nailed. Their Lionheart of the Barossa is packed with dark fruit - think blackberries and plums - with just the right hint of spice and a smooth finish that's effortlessly easy to drink. It's the kind of red that suits a wintry evening perfectly, whether you're tucking into a slow-cooked stew, carving up a roast, or just staying in and putting your feet up by the fire.

It's always been cracking value for money, but this month it's even better with 100 bonus loyalty points on offer. So, don't wait - pick up a bottle (or two) before February disappears faster than the wine in your glass.
