Wine Mollydooker, "The Maitre D'" Cabernet Sauvignon, 2017

Sparky Makuis, one in five children in the family, was a successful photographer. One day, the father Sparky summoned the children and said that the one who wants to engage in winemaking, will inherit his vineyard and winery. Sparky decided to change the scope of activities and engage in winemaking. At the same time, he met a beautiful girl Sarah Watts, and 4 years later she became his wife. When in 1991 they were married, they had $ 1000 and has big plans for the creation and development of their own business. Sarah and Sparky winemakers began to work together with the parents of Sarah at the winery Fox Creek: built winery, have developed a unique system of irrigation of vineyards and every day to improve their skills winemaking. The next day, after obtaining a license for its wineries, they became owners of the trophy "McLaren Vale Bushing King and Queen" in the "Best Wine in Show".

As the years passed, Sarah and Sparky were super super busy and successful when they had a son, Luke. To spend more time with his family, the family council it was decided to cease production of bottled wine and grape production to other manufacturers. Their remaining by the time the wine they sold through an agent. They say that the agent did little to them in the state of half an hour. A family Makuis created a virtual factory, helping other farmers to grow grapes of exceptional quality with patented watering system "Marquis Vineyard Watering Programme ™". Later, they returned to the production of wine in bottles, along with his friends from the Henry's Drive, Parson's Flat and Shirvington, Sparky and Sarah founded a joint venture Marquis Philips, which has been a runaway success. In 1999 the company won the award "Best Australian Winemaker of the Year" in 2002 - Award "Bushing Award".

Once the family council Sparky and Sarah summed up and came to the conclusion that this is not the life they want to live. They love wine, love him to produce, but they do not want to be a conveyor. They decided to go it alone and become "small, but practical." For example, in March 2006, a new brand - "Mollydooker". In Australia, the term "mollydooker" affectionately called lefties. This name was chosen because Sparky and Sarah - left-handed.
Today the company has 1,500-ton commercial license. Excellent winegrowers company commitment to work and vineyards in the patented Marquis Vineyard Watering Programme ™ make wine company "Molliduker" unique. By an amazing coincidence (or maybe it was intended) from the family home to wineries Makuis "Molliduker" six left turns!
