Collection: The Mollydooker Collection

The magical tale of Mollydooker starts with a love story……

The year was 1991, Sarah and Sparky Marquis had recently married on the back of finishing their winemaking studies with the world at their feet. They had each other, $1000 between them and dreams of developing their own business. They wanted to succeed in a career they were both passionate about, help others when possible, and to always have fun.

After years of making wine for others, in March 2006, their tale of love, hard work and determination led them to start their own brand, Mollydooker. The term itself being Aussie slang for a “left hander’ was a befitting name as they were both Mollydookers.

In June 2006, Robert Parker reviewed their very first vintage for Mollydooker. He rated The Boxer Shiraz as the ‘Best Value Red Wine in the World’ , Two Left Feet Shiraz/Cabernet as the second, and Maitre D’ Cabernet as the fourth. The Violinist Verdelho was also chosen as the ‘Best Value White Wine in the World’. The wines sold out in seventeen days and all the debts were paid off. In August 2006, when the Carnival of Love (WA:99) and Enchanted Path (WA:96) were released, they sold out in five days, and Mollydooker was back to paying bills early.

Since then Mollydooker has been a story of phenomenal and consistent success! The following year, their Velvet Glove Shiraz became their fifth wine to be awarded 99 points by The Wine Advocate and the Carnival of Love has now been listed in Wine Spectator’s ‘Top Ten wines in the World’ three times!

At Mollydooker, our incredibly talented team are passionate about our motto ‘We make wines that make people go WOW, through attention to detail and commitment to excellence!’ and never take shortcuts or compromise on quality.
