Mollydooker Miss Molly Sparkling Shiraz 2025 from McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek is a big, joyous take on sparkling red – deep ruby in the glass with a foamy purple bead and that signature Mollydooker richness turned into party mode. The nose is packed with maraschino cherry, fresh plum and blackcurrant, rolling into chocolate, mocha and a little liquorice and spice. On the palate, Miss Molly Sparkling Shiraz 2025 is full bodied, velvety and sweet‑fruited, with lively bubbles, hints of cinnamon and vanilla cream and a lingering cocoa finish.

This is the bottle you crack well‑chilled with barbecued ribs, sticky glazed ham or a big platter of snags and burgers – the sweetness and bubbles are made for salty, smoky, charry food. It’s also a fun match with dark chocolate desserts, pavlova with berries or a Christmas trifle, where all that plush fruit falls right into place. I’d happily pour Mollydooker Miss Molly 2025 as a welcome drink at a summer party or to finish a long lunch on a playful note.

What really sets Miss Molly Sparkling Shiraz 2025 apart is the combination of proper red‑wine depth – barrel‑fermented and matured in 100% American oak before a secondary ferment – with a sense of fun that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s unapologetically rich, a bit decadent and absolutely built for celebrations, from backyard birthdays to full Christmas spread with the family.
