About This Wine

Mollydooker

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.

Wine Region

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.
