Domaine des Pasquiers, Gigondas 2023
Domaine des Pasquiers crafts one of Gigondas' most reliable expressions from their high-altitude vineyards beneath the Dentelles de Montmirail. The 2023 shows the wild herbs of the garrigue, the structured power that comes from old vines, and that distinctive mineral backbone that separates Gigondas from its flashier Châteauneuf neighbours. Built on Grenache and Syrah, the fruit is dense and dark, the tannins serious but not severe, and there's a lovely tension between the Mediterranean warmth and the cooling influence of altitude.
Mollydooker The Boxer Shiraz 2023
Named because the very first taster declared it “a knockout,” The Boxer Shiraz is rich, deep, and layered. Elegant yet powerful, it shows lifted aromas of fresh plum, mocha, and liquorice. The palate is soft and plummy, with well-measured tannins and subtle toasted oak integrating seamlessly with the fruit, creating a wine of great depth and complexity. Vineyard & Terroir Selected parcels from McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek, picked at optimal ripeness to ensure concentration and balance. Winemaking Fermented and matured in 100% American oak barrels (45% new, 25% one-year-old, 30% two-year-old) with malolactic fermentation, preserving structure while enhancing richness. Tasting Notes Plum, mocha, liquorice, toasted oak, elegant tannins, layered, rich. Grape Variety Shiraz (Syrah) Food Pairing Ideal with grilled or roasted red meats, lamb, or hearty stews.
