Mollydooker Wines
Husband and wife Sparky and Sarah Marquis launched their South
Australia Mollydooker winery in 2005. The wines were an instant
sensation and sell out very quickly each year since.

Mollydooker is Australian slang for a leftie, as both Sarah and
Sparky are left-handed. The wines, featuring Shiraz, Cabernet
Sauvignon and Merlot, are big, but beautifully balanced.

What do the critics say?
Robert Parker of the Wine Advocate, the world’s preeminent wine critic, named
Sarah and Sparky “Wine Personalities of the Year”, calling Sparky “a brilliant
viticulturist”. On five occasions, he awarded one of their wines 99 points. Only
two or three other living red wine makers in the world have achieved that acclaim.

Sparky and Jeremy Allen, the Chairman of Chester County
Futures, have become very close friends over the years, sharing a
deep common commitment to helping disadvantaged kids and
savoring all aspects of Mollydooker wines.

futures
Sparky Marquis, and his Mum, Janet, Mollydooker GM, will join
us at Applebrook September 20th to unveil their long-awaited
2009 vintage and to support Chester County Futures.
An evening with Sparky, microphone in one hand and a glass
of Mollydooker in the other, is sure to be memorable.

Wine Spectator reviews more than 10,000 wines each year. 0.1% achieve the famous “Top Ten”. A wine from Mollydooker has achieved that remarkable status in each of the last two years.
