Mollydooker’s ultimate expression of Fruit Weight™, the Velvet Glove is an Australian Shiraz deep in flavour and rich in texture. Dense, dark and brooding in the glass, the 2021 Velvet Glove is complex and opulent. Black plum, blueberries and roasted coffee intermingle with anise in its lifted fragrance. A supremely smooth mouthfeel like molten chocolate accentuates the precise balance of structure and expresses deep flavours of berries, whilst liquorice and allspice linger on the palate. Indulge yourself with this outstanding example of a perfectly balanced McLaren Vale Shiraz.
A wine that wraps your entire palate in a ‘Velvet Glove’ of exquisite, everlasting fruit flavours. This is the pinnacle of Mollydooker winemaking.
Alcohol: 16.5% ABV

string(832) "Also known as Syrah, Shiraz was the variety which introduced the world to the concentrated and masculine wines of 1990s’ Australia. Here in the Barossa Valley, Langhorne Creek, Clare Valley and McLaren Vale it produces wines of great density and richness. In South Africa there tends to be more structure and freshness with earthy tannins. It is a variety which alters in the bottle very much as a result of the individual winemaker’s philosophy, as well as reflecting the unique terroir of the estates. Great with oak, it offers lavender, kirsch, black cherry and cured meat aromas and flavours. In its native Northern Rhône it is famous for the wines of Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie, whilst in the New World can lay claim to providing Australia with its two most famous wines; Henschke’s Hill of Grace and Penfold’s Grange."
