Mollydooker The Scooter Merlot 2023 from McLaren Vale is fragrant and silky smooth, with a nose full of cherries and dark forest fruits. The first sip reveals fresh plum and sweet berries, followed by gentle hints of nutmeg and cinnamon spice. This Merlot is finely balanced with delicate tannins, offering refined complexity and a plush, juicy palate that makes it a true pleasure to enjoy.

The grapes are grown on the Long Gully Road vineyard and the wine is barrel fermented and matured in predominantly American oak, adding texture and depth while preserving the vibrant fruit character. With 14.5% alcohol and low residual sugar, The Scooter 2023 is a rich yet approachable wine, perfect for pairing with lamb, roasted meats, or hearty vegetarian dishes.
