Mollydooker 'Don't Tell Mum' Shiraz 2025
Vintage Character
Mollydooker 'Don't Tell Mum' Shiraz 2025 is the still red expression from McLaren Vale. The region experienced its driest growing season since 2003, and warm, settled conditions brought budburst and flowering forward. Veraison and harvest were almost two weeks earlier than the long-term pattern, while small berries contributed concentration. Low disease pressure supported healthy fruit through the season. For McLaren Vale in 2025, early flowering and rapid seasonal progress meant an unusually early harvest, while low disease pressure allowed small, concentrated berries to arrive in healthy condition.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The house profile centres on cherry, chocolate and vanilla, with the producer's Black Forest cake comparison capturing the combination of red fruit and cocoa-like richness. Its established style is medium-bodied and silky, with rounded tannins and a clean, smooth finish that keeps the fruit-led impression easy to enjoy. A brief chill can keep the cherry character lively and make the wine especially comfortable at the table in warmer weather. Pair it with tomato pasta, grilled sausages or a mushroom burger. Those familiar savoury dishes suit the wine's straightforward fruit and gentle, rounded personality without demanding a complicated meal.
Winery Background
Don't Tell Mum was created by Holly and Luke Marquis, whose childhood around vineyards informed a belief that good wine need not be intimidating. The brand trades as Mollydooker Wines and works with a wider vineyard, cellar and logistics team. Its stated aim is easy enjoyment, and it directs 10% of profits to local revegetation projects in McLaren Vale. That combination gives the wine a clear identity: accessible Shiraz with a practical connection to the landscape where it is grown.
