On The Shelf: New Mollydooker's

A ripple of excitement as the palate of Mollydookers was lifted off the delivery lorry.

For once a quirky, cult producer who really delivers the style, the class and the enjoyment we look for in a wine. Now on the shelves the Goosebumps Sparkling Shiraz 2006, the Blue Eyed Blue Shiraz 2006 and the The Scooter Merlot 2006 plus the Boxer 2006 Shiraz. All wonderfully packaged.

I'm yet to try these latest vintages; I'm thinking of the Goosebumps Sparkling Shiraz for the Christmas Day meal. It's not cheap at a shade under £30 but if you can't be indulgent at Christmas when exactly can you be?!

I've also just noticed that they are all characteristically high on the alcohol front. The sparkler comes in at a not inconsiderable 16.5. The Blue Eyed Boy is also 16.5% while the Scooter is 15.5%.

Mollydooker Goosebumps Shiraz 2006 £28.99
Mollydooker Blue Eyed Blue Shiraz 2006 £28.50
Mollydooker The Scooter Merlot 2006 £14.50

These three wines join the Boxer Shiraz (£14.50) which we featured a few weeks ago along with a beef recipe supplied by the vineyard. The Mollydooker Violinist Verdelho is due later in the year.
