Winemaker Notes

This is a great wine that truly expresses the Cabernet grape. Perfumed with violets and wild berries, it displays strong varietal characters and lovely ripe plum fruit. Seamless and elegant, this wine is charming with lovely rich fruit, fine grain dusty tannins, and a long coffee chocolate finish.

This wine is great with fish, white meats, red meats, salads and cheeses. Optimum drinking: now - 4 years.

"The 2005 Maitre d' Cabernet (32% from Padthaway and 68% from Langhorne Creek) was aged in a combination of American and French oak, 40% of which was new. It is a superb Cabernet Sauvignon offering creamy creme de cassis notes intermixed with hints of licorice, new wood, and spice box. Full-bodied with great intensity, purity, density, and opulence as well as a voluptuous texture, rich mid-palate, and long, full-bodied, supple finish displaying notions of roasted coffee and white chocolate, it is hard to believe Cabernet Sauvignon can hit this level of quality at this price point. These wines are meant to be consumed young, but it is hard to believe these knock-out reds won't last for 5-10 years. Two more expensive Mollydooker cuvees will be reviewed in my full Australian report in the October issue."

Mollydooker, Australia
Mollydooker Winery Video

Mollydooker is a family owned and operated winery based in a charming part of the world that is McLaren Vale, South Australia. The dedicated team make a portfolio of wines that beautifully represent the warm, coastal climate of the region, but with the uniqueness that results from their trademarked winemaking techniques.

Established in 2005, the name Mollydooker – Aussie slang for a left-handed person – was a fitting choice given the majority of the team, including owner Sarah were themselves left-handed. This point of difference runs through all the winery’s operations, from greeting visitors with a left hand, to always placing the wine glass to the left of a table setting.

In 2007, Mollydooker found a permanent home in McLaren Vale, with 116 acres of vineyards, and the following decade saw ambitious growth. Now, the team of 50 produces 80,000 cases of wine each year, across five different tiers to wine-lovers across Australia, the US and beyond. Its ‘hero’ grape is the quintessential McLaren Vale grape, Shiraz, whilst other varieties, including Cabernet and Merlot are also prominent, on their own and in blends. To offer a full range to suit all palates and occasions, Mollydooker also offers three styles of Verdelhos (including a sparkling), and a Merlot Rosé.

Mollydooker’s wines have been praised globally, including receiving five 99-point Wine Advocate scores by renowned wine critic, Robert Parker. Its Carnival of Love Shiraz has also been listed a record three times in Wine Spectator’s Top 10 Wines in the World. Under the ambitious leadership of owner Sarah Marquis, the company has been recognised for its business success, being chosen as the 2019 South Australian Business of the Year at the much revered Telstra Business Awards.

Using its success, Mollydooker’s passion is about making a difference to the lives of those less fortunate through ‘sipping it forward’. Each year, a portion of its proceeds is directed towards supporting its local and international communities. Locally, Mollydooker supports the Hutt Street Centre, which provides meals, social and support services to the homeless community of Adelaide. On an international scale, Mollydooker sponsors three schools through Transform Cambodia, which helps to educate street kids, and 20 women through Mercy Multiplied each year, providing a safe space for victims of abuse.
