99 Points Wine Advocate — Mollydooker's Cult McLaren Vale Flagship

The 2022 Mollydooker Velvet Glove Shiraz is one of Australia's most celebrated and sought-after cult wines — a McLaren Vale Shiraz built on extreme concentration and luxurious texture, served in a black velvet bag.

My Wine Man on Mollydooker

Mollydooker is one of Australia's most internationally celebrated wineries — founded by Sarah and Sparky Marquis and known for big, ripe, fruit-driven Shiraz. The Velvet Glove is the estate's flagship and one of the most allocation-controlled wines in McLaren Vale.

Tasting Notes

Deep crimson with profound concentration. Dark plum, blackberry, dark chocolate, mocha, vanilla bean and a touch of clove. Full-bodied with ripe velvety tannins and a long, luxurious finish. 99 Points — Wine Advocate.

Style & Drinking Window

Full-bodied with velvety tannins. Drinking well now and through 2035. Decant 1–2 hours.

Food Pairing

A 99-point cult McLaren Vale flagship deserves the finest cut. We love it with Sher Wagyu Ribeye M5 Steak from My Meat Man — char-grilled rare with bone-marrow butter, a magnificent match for Velvet Glove's extraordinary marbling, dark plum and luxurious McLaren Vale tannins.
