Mollydooker Velvet Glove Shiraz 2023

Mollydooker Velvet Glove Shiraz 2023 is a monumental, unapologetically bold, and lavishly decadent Australian red wine that represents the absolute pinnacle of the winery's signature "Marquis Fruit Weight™" philosophy. Displaying an opaque, glass-staining inky purple color, it explodes from the glass with a breathtakingly intense bouquet of blueberry pie, boysenberry cordial, and black cherry liqueur, seamlessly interwoven with lavish notes of dark chocolate shavings, anise, sweet pipe tobacco, and toasted vanilla cream from its maturation in 100% new American oak. On the palate, this full-bodied titan delivers a thrillingly hedonistic, coat-your-mouth viscosity that somehow retains a remarkable, weightless freshness. A dense, seamless lattice of velvety, opulent tannins effortlessly wraps around a core of black walnut liqueur, dark molasses, and espresso bean, carrying the wine into an incredibly long, expressive, and spice-laced finish that lingers for minutes.

Food Pairing: This powerful, high-octane Shiraz demands equally robust dishes, pairing magnificently with prime ribeye steak with blue cheese butter, slow-cooked venison or wild boar stew, pepper-crusted lamb chops, or rich, dark chocolate desserts.
