Mollydooker – Maitre D’
Mollydooker Maitre D’ 2022
The deep red and purple hues hint at the rich flavors of cherry and blackberry. On the palate, the fruit flavors transition into notes of black licorice, cigar box, and mocha, all while maintaining a pleasant fruit sweetness. Maitre D’ is smooth and well-balanced offering a lovely blend of fruit and subtle spice. The finish is satisfying and lingers with notes of dark fruit and mocha
The Mollydooker Shake(Click for video)
Mollydooker wines are bottled with a small amount of nitrogen instead of additional sulfites to preserve their freshness and minimize chemical additives. The nitrogen can sometimes trap dissolved gases, creating a “tight” sensation on the palate. The shake releases this gas, allowing the full expression of the wine’s rich flavors and aromas.
How to Perform the Mollydooker Shake:
- Open the Bottle
- Pour out a small amount (about an ounce) to create space in the bottle.
- Replace the cap or cork securely
- Shake for 5-10 seconds
- Release the pressure
- Repeat once more
- Pour wine into a fresh glass
- Optional: Compare the original 1 ounce pour to the new pour.
