Mollydooker The Scooter Merlot 2023

Mollydooker The Scooter Merlot 2023 is a rich, silky, and expressive Australian red wine produced from sustainably grown Merlot grapes harvested from the Long Gully Road vineyard in McLaren Vale. Barrel-fermented and matured in a combination of American and French oak barrels, it captures Mollydooker's signature fruit-forward intensity and plush mouthfeel. In the glass, it reveals a bright ruby-purple hue, bursting with aromas of ripe cherries, fresh plum, forest fruits, and subtle undertones of cinnamon and nutmeg spice. On the palate, it delivers a gentle, velvety texture filled with sweet berry flavors, delicate tannins, and a beautifully balanced, spicy finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with braised beef short ribs, roasted lamb shoulder, grilled pork chops, mushroom risotto, or aged hard cheeses.
