Mollydooker Velvet Glove Shiraz is made from 100 percent Shiraz.
Sticky plum jam and spicy nutmeg aromas are alluringly prominent on the nose, whilst berries and mocha weave
and envelop your entire palate. The finish is incredibly smooth and silky, with elegant fruit flavors that linger in your mouth. An outstanding example of a perfectly balanced Shiraz from McLaren Vale.
Review:
The stunning 2022 ‘The Velvet Glove’ is a stunning wine coming from the Gateway Vineyard in McLaren Vale. Stored in all new American oak barrels before bottling, this delivers a glassstaining purple, with blueberry pie and boysenberry cordial notes alongside tar, anise, Cuban cigar and suggestions of Black Forest cake on the nose. The absolutely gorgeous aromatics bring you back to the glass for more hedonistic pleasure. This is obviously big, bold and heady, but has remarkable freshness and seamless texture. This is very weightless stuff that will have a long life ahead of it. But why wait?

Composition is a remarkable collaboration between Bertrand de Villaine, co-owner of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, and Katrina Rank, a talented Oregon-based winemaker. Together, they bring a uniquely Franco-Oregonian perspective to Pinot Noir, merging Burgundian philosophy with the vibrant expression of Willamette Valley terroir.
The fruit is sourced from carefully selected vineyards in Oregon's Willamette Valley, where the cool maritime climate and volcanic soils produce Pinot Noir of remarkable finesse and complexity. Aged 10 months in oak barrels with 30% new oak, the wine is crafted to highlight purity of fruit while allowing gentle structural support. 13% alcohol.
The Composition Pinot Noir delivers a light and perfumed style with layers of red cherry, wild strawberry, and subtle floral notes, supported by fine-grained tannins and bright, refreshing acidity. A wine of elegance and restraint that reflects the harmony between two great winemaking traditions.
