Mollydooker The Boxer Shiraz 2022 is a rich and powerful Aussie red from McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek. Named after a “left-handed boxer” (hence the two left gloves on the label), this wine packs elegant layers of plum, mocha, and liquorice, with soft tannins and a touch of toasted oak. At 15.5% alcohol, it’s bold but balanced—a great pick for fans of full-flavored Shiraz.
