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。
Verdelho is a potent variety and can make an impact in a blend with as little as 5% in the mix. So, when we drink varietal Verdelho, it can often be an intense experience. The 2021 The Violinist Verdelho is tropical and round, with salted pineapple, toffee, apple, honeydew melon, apricot and brine. Texturally, the wine is soft and plump—cushioned even. I'd suggest that the later pick (evident via the 15.5% alcohol on the label) has imbued the wine with a fatness, breadth and volume of fruit rather than an overt alcohol sensation, although it does plume at the back of the mouth and throat. This is a distinct style and executed well.
