"Plump blackberry, blueberry and maraschino cherry flavors are ripe, smooth and juicy, with plenty of dark chocolate, spice and toasted coconut accents that linger effortlessly on the velvety body. Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2027." - Wine Spectator (March 2018)

Sarah and Sparky Marquis (pronounced Mar-kwis) have been making wine for 25 years, but this amazing husband and wife team moved to crafting Mollydooker wines exclusively in 2005.  Mollydooker is Aussie for left-handed, and both members of the dynamic duo are, of course, left-handed.  The couple has approached winemaking by starting in the vineyard.  Growers for Mollydooker employ the trademarked Marquis Vineyard Watering System. This vineyard management philosophy stresses canopy balance and strong, healthy vines using a carefully timed watering regimen. The resulting grapes are then scored for Marquis Fruit Weight.  Marquis Fruit Weight™ is the measurement of how far back on your palate you find the "velvet glove" fruit before the structure of the wine is exposed (measured in percentages since everyone's tongue is a different length.) The higher the Fruit Weight, the more intense and rich the flavors are in the finished wine. This grading system involves numerous tastings during the winemaking process to determine the wine’s final bottling destination.  Only wine graded 60% or higher is accepted for Mollydooker labels.  
The grapes were grown on the Mollydooker Home, Coppermine Road, Long Gully Road, Fragos, Ryans Road, Seaview, Reedy Creek, Hawthorn Ridge, Booths & Martins Road vineyards in McLaren Vale and Birchmore & Joppich in Langhorne Creek. Barrel fermented and matured in 100% American oak using 42% new, 42% one year old and 16% two year old barrels.
