2018 Mollydooker Cabernet Sauvignon Gigglepot

A delightful aroma of forest fruits precedes the abundance of elegant flavors found within this Cabernet Sauvignon. Polished tannins weave between rich layers of rhubarb and blackberry whilst cocoa and cinnamon linger on the palate. Intense and elegant the 2018 Gigglepot is joy in a glass.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (92/100)
The 2018 Gigglepot Cabernet Sauvignon displays a hint of mint on the nose, but just a hint, leaving plenty of space for the dark cassis and chocolate notes that characterize this big, bold Cabernet. It’s full-bodied, plush and velvety, with a slightly brighter finish and mouthwatering length.

Wine Spectator (90/100)
Rich and opulent, with notes of chicory, chai tea, caramel and cream soda surrounding a core of kirsch, maraschino cherry and framboise. The tannins are polished and smooth, with a generous, spicy finish. Drink now through 2035.

Mollydooker is a family owned and operated winery based in a charming part of the world that is McLaren Vale, South Australia. The dedicated team make a portfolio of wines that beautifully represent the warm, coastal climate of the region, but with the uniqueness that results from their trademarked winemaking techniques.

Established in 2005, the name Mollydooker – Aussie slang for a left-handed person – was a fitting choice given the majority of the team, including owner Sarah were themselves left-handed. This point of difference runs through all the winery’s operations, from greeting visitors with a left hand, to always placing the wine glass to the left of a table setting.

In 2007, Mollydooker found a permanent home in McLaren Vale, with 116 acres of vineyards, and the following decade saw ambitious growth. Now, the team of 50 produces 80,000 cases of wine each year, across five different tiers to wine-lovers across Australia, the US and beyond. Its ‘hero’ grape is the quintessential McLaren Vale grape, Shiraz, whilst other varieties, including Cabernet and Merlot are also prominent, on their own and in blends. To offer a full range to suit all palates and occasions, Mollydooker also offers three styles of Verdelhos (including a sparkling), and a Merlot Rosé.
