Mollydooker The Scooter Merlot is a vibrant, fruit‑driven and irresistibly plush Australian red crafted from premium McLaren Vale vineyards. Benefiting from the region’s warm days, cooling sea breezes and ancient soils, the grapes achieve exceptional ripeness and concentration while retaining freshness. True to the Mollydooker style, the wine is made with meticulous attention to fruit purity, generous texture and bold flavour. The result is a richly expressive Merlot that delivers immediate pleasure, silky depth and a joyful sense of energy in every glass. Meet the Producer Mollydooker, founded by Sarah and the late Sparky Marquis, is one of Australia’s most distinctive and celebrated wineries. Known for their exuberant, fruit‑forward style and innovative vineyard practices, they craft wines that are both powerful and beautifully balanced. Their commitment to meticulous canopy management, low yields and vibrant, expressive fruit has earned them a loyal global following. Production Grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and handled gently to preserve their natural richness. Fermentation takes place in temperature‑controlled tanks with careful extraction to build colour, flavour and velvety tannins. The wine is then matured in a combination of American and French oak, adding subtle spice, warmth and roundness while allowing the Merlot’s plush fruit to shine. The result is a smooth, generous and impeccably polished expression of McLaren Vale Merlot. Tasting Notes Deep ruby in colour, the wine opens with aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, blueberry and hints of chocolate and vanilla. The palate is soft, juicy and full‑bodied, offering layers of dark fruit, sweet spice and a touch of mocha. Silky tannins and balanced acidity create a smooth, rounded mouthfeel, leading to a long, warming finish with lingering berry richness. Food Match A perfect partner for grilled meats, roast duck, hearty pasta dishes, barbecued ribs, mature cheeses or rich vegetarian casseroles. Grap
