On International Shiraz Day we look at the award winning Carnival Of Love from Mollydooker in the McLaren Vale, South Australia!

Tasting notes:  Carnival of Love is an opulent celebration of McLaren Vale Shiraz. Fresh aromas of raspberry and plum, with hints of earthiness, create the intense nose, while the palate provides a full spectrum of flavours from cherry to mocha and spice. Exhibiting poise and balance, the lovely hints of oak reside as an undercurrent of fine tannins and subtle vanilla. The soft mouthfeel creates the sense of melted chocolate, yet the lingering finish of berry compote brings the wine to where Shiraz excels.

Why are the grapes so juicy and high in alcohol?
Did you know Shiraz is called Syrah in the Old World?
We investigate the Mollydooker Shake, why do we need to do it? Why do they use nitrogen in the winemaking process and why do we need to release it?
