Winemaking The Boxer is Mollydooker's signature full-bodied Shiraz, sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia and crafted in a bold, expressive style. A portion of the wine is naturally high in CO₂ due to the minimal handling approach, which is why the Mollydooker team recommends their unique “Mollydooker Shake”—a quick swirl to release trapped gas and unlock the wine’s full flavour.
Bouquet Opulent aromas of blackberry, plum, and black cherry leap from the glass, supported by mocha, liquorice, sweet spice, and vanilla oak. Rich and heady from the first swirl.
Palate Powerful and plush, with layers of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice. Velvety tannins, creamy oak, and a generous mouthfeel carry through a long, warming finish. Pure indulgence in a glass.
Food Pairing Ideal with grilled ribeye, beef cheek, BBQ brisket, or mushroom stroganoff. A showstopper red built for bold dishes and big occasions.
Cellaring Drinking beautifully now—especially with the Mollydooker Shake—but will evolve over 6–8 years for added savoury complexity.
Interesting Fact “Mollydooker” means left-hander in Aussie slang, and this wine pulls no punches—bold, unconventional, and full of personality. The Mollydooker Shake is a fun and functional way to awaken the wine before serving.
