The producer
Mollydooker Wines was founded in 2005 by Sarah and Sparky Marquis, who were already established Australian winemakers before launching the Mollydooker brand. The brand became famous for its bold, ripe, fruit-forward Shiraz styles and distinctive labels. "The Boxer" is the entry-tier Shiraz, sourced from McLaren Vale fruit.
What critics say
Mollydooker wines receive consistently strong consumer ratings and Robert Parker scores. The style is unmistakably ripe and powerful — divisive among critics but commercially successful.
