Mollydooker Carnival of Love Shiraz 2022 is as life should be — a place where everyone wants to be, and no one wants to leave. A vibrant and expressive single vineyard McLaren Vale Shiraz from the Gateway Vineyard, opening with raspberry and cherry scents and a touch of aniseed spice; rich red fruit, hints of coffee, coconut, and deeper plum flavours on the palate; chocolate and spice adding extra dimensions to a wine that is as generous, joyful, and celebratory as its name suggests. This is McLaren Vale Shiraz at its most exuberant and inviting. A carnival in a glass.
