Now Viewing: Marquis Philips
Marquis Philips is a collaboration between Australian winemakers Sarah and Sparky Marquis and USA importer Dan Philips to produce exceptional wines. Sparky and Sarah Marquis were the winemakers at Fox Creek when they met U.S. importer Dan Philips. The Marquises left to become consulting winemakers as soon as Fox Creek expanded. Philips worked with them on a number of projects, including Henry Drive, Parsons Flat, and most recently Shirvington, another standout new wine from McLaren Vale. The wines are crafted to show strong varietal definition on the nose and to have a palate structure with a distinctive hallmark of fruit length, ripe fine grain tannins and integrated balance of fruit weight, alcohol, acid and tannins. The wines are styled so that they can be consumed for both the present and also to be able to mature into the future, they will always, both young and aged, show these balanced rich fruit characteristics throughout the palate. The mythological creature appearing on the front label is the Roogle (a kanagroo/eagle) representing the lasting friendship and the shared destiny that link Australia and the US. The philosophy behind Marquis Phillips wines is to develop rich fruit depth, structure and distinctive varietal characteristics at an everyday drinking prices.
