Meet Mollydooker
If you haven’t yet met Mollydooker, let us introduce you… A powerhouse in every sense of the word, Mollydooker has been a crowd-pleasing, wow-inducing, glass-filling favourite in the Dhall & Nash portfolio for years.
These unapologetically lush and vivacious wines are everything their quirky labels make them out to be – loud, bold and utterly scrumptious. With a look to turn the head and a taste to delight the tongue, there’s nothing this Aussie superstar can’t achieve.

More on Molly’
What’s with all the ‘Left’ references?
Mollydooker is Aussie’ slang for a left-hander, which has been an oddly strong theme throughout this brand’s entire journey. Both of the winemakers who started the label were Mollydookers, but it’s more than that! You’ll notice all Mollydooker staff will only shake your left hand, the Boxer Shiraz (their most popular bottling) has two left-handed gloves in his depiction, and is part of the ‘Lefty’ series. Wine critic Robert Parker helped to boost this brand to international recognition, which they found particularly poignant given he too is a left-hander and they’ve named their wine room after him: ‘Nosey Parker Experience.’ Mollydooker also employs an unusually high number of Mollydookers – despite only making up around 10% of the population, around 50% of their winery staff just so happen to be left-handed.
