Mollydooker Winery 茉莉杜克酒莊
來自南澳McLarenVale地區，屢獲WA給予99分的高評價，也被Wine Spectator列世上最有價值的20個酒莊之一。
結合了名氣、設计、愛情、以及最密集94-99分評價等元素的澳洲Mollydooker酒莊，其實在澳洲當地的意思是「左撇子」，這是因為莊主夫婦Sparky Marquis與Sarah Marquis 兩人剛好都是左撇子，他們共結連理也是因為葡萄酒。
酒莊名酒Carnival of Love「愛的嘉年華」在過去10年中，有6個年份進入美國Wine Spectator 的Top 100名單，其中2009年獲得第9名，而2014年甚至拿下第2名，這款充滿McLaren Vale風情的佳釀，不只質優異，酒標設計更是讓人記憶深刻，已經是全球愛酒人追的名酒。酒莊酒款分成Lefty「左撇子」、Party「派對」、Love「愛情Velvet Glove「絲絨手套」4個系列，全都被瘋狂喜愛著。
The fruit this year was sourced from McLaren Vale 100%, and despite the warmer vintage, the 2020 The Boxer Shiraz is slightly lower in alcohol than the following 2021 (the product of a cooler vintage—go figure). Here, the 2020 Boxer is more balanced and settled, and whether that is due to an extra year in bottle or the regional sourcing for fruit (methinks a combo of the two), the wine is showing really well. This is a big volume wine—the biggest in the portfolio—but drinks better than that. The immaculate and highly organized winery, which I visited in June, may have something to do with that.
