VINEYARD NOTES
The grapes for 'The Boxer' are sourced from premium vineyards in McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek, and Padthaway. These regions offer warm days and cool nights, ideal for ripening Shiraz to full concentration while maintaining balance. The vines are dry- grown and low-yielding, ensuring high flavor intensity. Mollydooker employs biodynamic and sustainable practices to preserve soil vitality and fruit quality.
TASTING NOTES
The Boxer' explodes with aromas of blackberry, dark chocolate, plum, and spice. On the palate, it is lush and powerful, with dense layers of ripe black fruits, mocha, and hints of vanilla from oak aging. The tannins are soft and velvety, supporting a long, smooth finish. Its signature Mollydooker "Fruit Weight" gives it an opulent mouthfeel, making it both approachable and impressively structured.
