The Boxer Shiraz

'Mollydooker' is old Aussie slang for a left-handed boxer, and the wines from Mollydooker always punch well above their weight. Did you notice that the Boxer on the label has two left-handed gloves? The grapes were grown in vineyards in McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek and were barrel fermented and matured in 100% American oak, imparting toasty flavors of chocolate and malt. The Boxer will win over Shiraz fans with its solid core of dark fruit, black cherries, mocha, and clove spice that lifts out of the glass. A soft, plummy mouthfeel, well-measured tannins, and slightly toasted oak complement the rich fruit, creating a wine with many layers. Bursting with an enticing aroma and an intense, elegant flavor spectrum, The Boxer truly is a knockout.

NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive Wine.

South Australia

From juicy, full-bodied Shiraz and bold Rhône-style blends to deliciously buttery, oak-touched Chardonnay and surprisingly elegant Rieslings, South Australia is renowned for its wide array of crowd-pleasing wines. The key is the state's diverse geography and climate. With hot, dry regions like Riverland and cool, coastal areas like the Adelaide Hills, winemakers have an incredible range of grapes and styles at their disposal. South Australia is responsible for more than half of Australia's total wine production and makes some of the country's most prominent wine labels. It is also home to world-famous regions like Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Clare Valley.

ABOUT THE BRAND:

large bunches of red grapes on the vine

Mollydooker

The year was 1991; Sarah and Sparky Marquis had recently married on the back of finishing their winemaking studies with the world at their feet. They had each other, $1000 between them, and dreams of developing their own business. They wanted to succeed in a career they were both passionate about, help others when possible, and to always have fun. Starting out as winemakers for Sarah’s parents at Fox Creek in 1994, they soon developed and implemented their Marquis Vineyard Watering Programme™ in the vineyards, which produced the exceptional grapes that would go on to make their award-winning wines.
