The Wimmer Estate
The young family owned and run winery is situated in the northern part of Austria known as the Weinviertel, in the wine city of Poysdorf. The wine-growing tradition goes back to 1724.

The vineyards cover an area of about 20 hectares. They further work with carefully selected vintners who produce another 15 hectares of grapes for them.

Clos du Val Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 5% Malbec and 1% each Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
This fresh and vibrant Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is brimming with aromas of blackberry, mulberry, cassis, and violet. On the palate, bright flavors of cranberry, red plum, cherry, and lavender are intertwined with supple tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, smooth finish.
Review:
"Sleek tannins, guided by sweet earth, slate, purple plum and black olive. Savory notes of fig, toasted cedar, and black tea meld with blackberries. Well structured and impeccably balanced."

Mollydooker The Boxer is made from 100 percent Shiraz.
Deep, saturated purple in the glass. The nose leads with ripe black cherry and dark plum lifted by mocha and a touch of clove spice. Rich and velvety across the palate, it layers bittersweet chocolate, maraschino cherry and cardamom over a soft, plummy texture, with well-measured tannins and a note of toasted oak carrying a long finish. Full bodied and generous in classic Mollydooker style, yet balanced enough to enjoy now or hold over the next decade.
WHY "THE BOXER"?
The Boxer punches above its weight - Sarah and Sparky Marquis's benchmark McLaren Vale Shiraz, built to over-deliver at its price and the wine that introduces most people to the Mollydooker style.
TASTING NOTES:
Black cherry, plum and mocha with clove and cardamom spice; velvety and full bodied, finishing on bittersweet chocolate and fine oak. Drink now through 2034.
