The Boxer
WHO IS THE BOXER?
‘Mollydooker’ is old Aussie slang for a left handed boxer and our Boxer always punches well above his Fruit Weight™. Did you notice he has two left-handed gloves?
TASTING NOTES:
The 2023 Boxer is poised to impress Shiraz enthusiasts with its deep and complex profile. It features a solid core of dark fruit, including ripe black cherries, mocha, and a hint of clove spice, all of which emerge vividly from the glass. The wine’s rich and velvety mouthfeel is enhanced by a soft plummy texture, while well-measured tannins and a touch of toasted oak provide balance and structure. This combination creates a rich, multi-layered experience, making the 2023 Boxer a truly engaging and enjoyable tasting experience.
TECHNICAL NOTES:
The grapes were grown on vineyards in McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek. The Boxer has been Barrel fermented and matured in 100% American oak, using 40% new and 60% one year old. The required Marquis Fruit Weight™ for the Lefty Series is 65% – 75%. The Actual Fruit Weight for 2023 The Boxer is 68%.

Quick View - The Family Collection
The Family CollectionShiraz & Cabernet Sauvignon$500
We are proud to present ‘The Family Collection’, featuring limited edition labels of our adored Family Wines; our Blue Eyed Boy Shiraz and our Gigglepot Cabernet Sauvignon. After several years of careful cellaring, we are delighted to showcase both varietals with their unique profiles and stylistic nuances across three distinct vintages, 2019, 2020 and 2021. If you are a Gigglepot fan, you may remember that we did not release a 2019 vintage due to a small yield. In turn, we safely cellared the limited bottles, we did make, especially for this limited-edition collectors release.
