‘Editor's Most Exciting New Wines’ 
'The 100% Shiraz 2007 Carnival of Love has a smoky, toasty perfume with notes of violet, garrigue, blueberry, and plum adding complexity. Opulent on the palate, this glossy Shiraz has serious depth of flavor, great concentration, excellent integration of oak, tannin, and acidity, and a pure, silky finish…' – Jay Miller, www.erobertparker.com

Reviews: Wine Spectator #9 Wine in the World & 95 points
‘Big, rich and terrifically ripe. A lithe mouthful of pure wild blueberry and Asian spices, with swirls of plum and other berries as the finish rolls on, unimpeded by tannins. In the end, this has elegance to go along with its power. Drink now through 2017.’ – Harvey Steiman, www.winespectator.com

Grape Expectations: ‘Perfect Valentine, a whopping 16 percenter, thick and groovy and altogether a carnival of delight which you’d hope for from $90 and a wine voted ninth best in the world. 9.2/10.’ - Max Crus

Label: Our whole family is involved in making our wines, and many of those who enjoy Mollydooker wines become our friends, so we named this wine the Carnival of Love, because the wines bring us all together. If you look closely you will notice that the Lefty characters are all included in the label and when you join the Carnival of Love and the Enchanted Path together, the two labels form one beautiful continuous love story.

Vineyards: The grapes for the 2007 Carnival of Love came from the Gateway and Dry Creek vineyards in McLaren Vale.

The Gateway vineyard is on the magical Seaview Ridge which is home to most of the iconic McLaren Vale wines. It is owned by a consortium of enthusiastic accountants, lawyers and grape growers who are dedicated to sustainable agriculture.
The meticulous viticulture is done by Paxton and the grapes are managed according to the Marquis Vineyard Watering Program™.

The Dry Creek vineyard is in the Sellicks Hill area of McLaren Vale and is owned and managed by Darryl, Neville & Jan Kirwin. The Kirwin family have years of grape growing experience in the Riverland area of South Australia and moved to McLaren Vale to follow their dream of producing grapes which would make quality wine. Their two 5 acre Shiraz blocks have 8 watering zones each, making them the most complex vineyards that we manage under our watering program. Darryl looks after the blocks and we reckon that he knows every vine personally!

Drink:
Now – 2017. We recommend the ‘Mollydooker Shake’ whilst the wine is young.

We think our wines go best with good friends!
