Paulett Wines Sparkling Red

Miss Molly Sparkling Shiraz

Miss Molly is the Boxer’s girlfriend, bubbly and full of fun.

Vivacious and full of class, Miss Molly is brimming with vivid maraschino cherry and plum jam that progress into layers of milk chocolate and mocha. Toffee and cinnamon notes intermix throughout the flavour spectrum as the bubbles add an undeniable vibrancy to the mouth feel. This wine is a lively celebration of McLaren Vale Shiraz, fitting for any occasion.

The grapes were grown on the Longbottom vineyard in Padthaway, the Birchmore vineyard in Langhorne Creek and the Hunt Creek, Semmens and Mollydooker vineyards in McLaren Vale. Barrel fermented and matured in 100% American oak using 32% new and 68% one year old barrels. The Boxer has gone through a secondary fermentation allowing us to create this beautiful sparkling wine.

Heavy rain in the McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek regions during July, an incredible 31% increase in rainfall. These cold, wet conditions continued through to early summer, becoming the defining features of the 2017 vintage. Budburst and flowering were both delayed, resulting in a later harvest than normal. In the lead up to harvest there were concerns of mildew and botrytis affecting the grape quality, however Mollydooker’s open canopies allowed air flow and, with perfect summer temperatures, grapes were not affected.

Barrel fermented and matured in 100% American oak of which 37% new; 59% one year old; 4% two year old.

The vineyards are situated on the magical Seaview Ridge, which with its ancient soils and Mediterranean climate, is home to some of the most iconic Australian wines. There are three separate vineyards – Long Gully Road, Coppermine Road and the Home Blocks, giving us a total of 114 acres of Shiraz, Cabernet and Merlot. All of the grapes are grown sustainably.

Majella Sparkling Shiraz is bottle fermented like Champagne and then a little vintage port is added to give a well balanced sweet/savoury sparkling wine – ideal with food, before or after a meal..or anytime! The colour is a vibrant deep red with a ruby hue. A creamy raspberry bouquet, the palate is luscious giving delicious sweet berry flavours with hints of plum, nutmeg and gentle tannins. 

The grapes come from Coonawarra which lies only 60 miles inland, exposed to a maritime climate, with dry and moderately cool summers. Persistent cloud cover generally moderates the ripening period temperatures. The ‘Terra Rossa’ of Coonawarra is Australia’s most famous soil, renowned for its affinity with Cabernet Sauvignon wines. 

Primary fermentation was in 10 tonne stainless steel static fermenter’s pumped over twice daily and finished in hogsheads. Secondary fermentation done in bottle on “lees” for almost 48 months. The wine is then disgorged and a small amount of “liqueur” (sweetener) is added. In the true Aussie tradition they use some really fantastic vintage port. The wine is now packaged under a “Crown Seal” which eliminates any problems with leakage or cork taint.

It’s a great wine for any occasion, and goes well with most food styles particularly game, spicy foods and cured meats. The Aussies call this a breakfast wine.

Sparkling red wines are a great Australian tradition, and along with other wineries Majella has kept the tradition alive with our very popular sparkling Shiraz.
The base wine of our sparkling Shiraz is matured in second and third use French oak hogsheads for 6 months before secondary fermentation.

Using méthode traditionelle, the bottles were hand riddled then disgorged and a small amount of liqueur (vintage port) is added for extra complexity.
