Who is the Blue Eyed Boy?
The Blue Eyed Boy is Sarah’s son, Luke. Stomping grapes as a kid and now working in the vineyards.

The 2018 'Blue Eyed Boy' Shiraz by Mollydooker has colour and fragrance of plum, that provide an alluring first glance. With gentle notes of strawberry and mocha filling the aroma. Expressive, rich fruit adds elements of blueberries and molten chocolate, while subtle tannins create a silky mouthfeel. The great intensity and complexity of our 2018 Blue Eyed Boy is no exception to its past.

Winery & Vintage Info

Starting early March, the 2018 Vintage can be defined by the even ripening that lead to great fermentation conditions. The grapes came into the winery at a steady pace with excellent colour and breadth of flavour shown as soon as the fruit was first crushed. Ferments were easily controlled allowing efficient extraction of tannins and flavours from the skins during pump-overs. Malolactic fermentation moved quickly during the oak maturation phase to reveal the intensity and depth of character of the wines which will be the hall mark of 2018 Vintage.

The fruit for the 2018 Blue Eyed Boy Shiraz was sourced from McLaren Vale vineyards Coppermine Road, Gateway, Long Gully Road & Mollydooker Home, along with the Joppich vineyard in Langhorne Creek. Sustainably grown and harvested between the 7th of March & the 21st of March. Barrel fermented and matured in 100% American oak with 58% new & 42% one year old. Winery Notes
