The Mollydooker Velvet Glove Shiraz is a true spectacle of craftsmanship, boasting a complex and finely tuned flavour palate. Originating from Australia, this bold red wine is rich in elegant notes of dark chocolate, blackberry, and velvety plum. A luxurious blend of spice and subtle oak undertones stretches across the palate and persists into an impressively long, nuanced finish. The wine colour is seductively deep, verging on ink-like, with captivating clarity. Matured in American oak barrels, the Mollydooker Velvet Glove Shiraz offers a robust yet sophisticated indulgence for wine connoisseurs. Quite simply, it's an opulent and impeccably balanced bottle of vino.

Tasting Notes

Dense, dark and brooding in the glass, the 2018 Velvet Glove is complex and opulent. Aromas of black plum, blueberries and roasted coffee mingle with anise. A supremely smooth mouthfeel accentuates the balanced structure and expresses deep flavours of berries, whilst liquorice and allspice linger on the palate.
