Mollydooker Wines 'Two Left Feet'

This wine showcases the creative blending aesthetics of Mollydooker, a representative cult winery in McLaren Vale, South Australia. 'Mollydooker' is Aussie slang for a 'left-hander', and the witty name 'Two Left Feet' playfully depicts the clumsiness of getting one's feet tangled while dancing. The name might be playful, but the wine's quality is entirely serious. It features a fantastic blend of the explosive fruitiness of Australia's signature Shiraz, the firm structure of Cabernet Sauvignon, and the smooth texture of Merlot. The winery's core philosophy, 'Marquis Fruit Weight' (the dense, mouth-filling sensation of fruit), shines brilliantly in this wine. Upon opening, sweet and dense aromas of ripe plum, blackberry jam, dark chocolate, and vanilla bean fill the glass. On the palate, a velvety, creamy, and explosive dark fruit juice smoothly coats the tongue, making the hefty 15.5%+ ABV almost unnoticeable. It is a charming Australian fruit bomb that immerses you in overwhelming scale and intuitive hedonistic pleasure without the need for complex thought.

1. Charcoal-Grilled BBQ Pork Ribs or Texas-style Smoked Brisket: The ultimate barbecue pairing to most intuitively enjoy Mollydooker's signature explosive jammy fruitiness and vanilla oak touch. The deep, meaty flavors of pork ribs generously coated in sweet, smoky BBQ sauce and charcoal-grilled, or slowly smoked, melt-in-your-mouth beef brisket, form perfect gears with the wine's heavy body. The salty umami of the meat and the sweet fruitiness of the wine stimulate the brain, delivering endless sweet-and-salty pleasure. 2. Dark Chocolate Brownie or Aged Gouda Cheese: A marriage that enjoys the high 15.5%+ ABV and viscous texture like a dessert. The mocha, vanilla, and chocolate nuances inherent in the wine create a perfect mirroring effect with a rich, fudgy dark chocolate brownie. If a full meal is too heavy, pair it with an aged Gouda cheese possessing caramel flavors to experience how the wine's creamy tannins smoothly melt the cheese.
