Vibrant, plush, and full of character, The Scooter Merlot delivers generous flavours of ripe plum layered with red and dark berry fruits. A gentle touch of oak adds warmth and depth, while the soft, integrated tannins create a smooth, approachable palate. Rich yet easy-drinking, this is a bold and expressive McLaren Vale Merlot made for immediate enjoyment. Named after Sparky’s childhood nickname—earned racing a big-tyre scooter—The Scooter captures Mollydooker’s signature spirit: energetic, fun, and unapologetically flavour-packed.
