2010 Mollydooker Miss Molly Sparkling Shiraz

The fruit for Mollydookers Sparkling Shiraz is sourced from vineyards located in Padthaway, Langhorne Creek & McLaren Vale. The wine was barrel fermented and matured in 100% American oak of which 60% were new and 40% one year old barrels. Showing very good hold this Sparkling pours with a purple tinged mousse which once dissipated reveals a black dark crimson red base wine colour. Profuse, exceptionally fine bead. Good intensity on the nose with ripe blackberry and liquorice scents followed by some toasty oak and spice. Rich, concentrated palate flavours of ripe blackberry, liquorice and dark plum are overlaid with some toasty vanillin oak and spice on the back palate. Rich creamy mouthfeel with medium to long aftertaste of ripe blackberry, liquorice, vanillin oak and spice.
Drink over the next 3-4 years (2013-2017).
