Mollydooker Two Left Feet Shrz/ Mrlt/ Cab

Description

”The Blend We make Two Left Feet using The Scooter, The Maitre D and The Boxer. Each vintage we blend the three finished wines until we find the perfect balance. Sometimes it calls for more Scooter than Maitre D and sometimes the other way round, every year is different. This years blend is 71% Shiraz, 15% Merlot, 14% Cabernet.Vintage Report Vintage began slightly earlier than usual on the 23rd February and went on to be one of our most exciting and challenging vintages to date. An unseasonably dry spring produced an early budburst and still conditions gave the fruit a chance to set in beautifully. Heat spikes in January followed by 11 days over 35C/95F in the first 23 days of February, meant that careful monitoring of the vines health using the Marquis Vineyard Watering Programme was integral in producing high quality grapes.Despite the seasonal challenges, we harvested a total of 1026.24 tonnes and processed 72 individual parcels of fruit. Due to our scrupulous Fruit Weight guidelines and our commitment to excellence, this years fruit did not achieve the required Fruit Weight necessary to make the Enchanted Path, Carnival of Love and Velvet Glove. On the bright side, this meant that some incredible fruit was used to make our 2015 Lefty and Family wines. Combining quality fruit with some very clever and methodical winemaking, the results are simply outstanding.Winemaker Tasting Notes This wine is a spectacular example of how Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet can be blended together to create flavours that complement each other so well. Lavish aromas of chocolate, cherry and vanilla cream, lead to a palate of deep plum, spice and liquorice. With soft, integrated tannins and lingering flavours, this is an opulent wine and seriously delicious.”- Mollydooker
