The mythical creature on the Marquis Philips label is the Roogle. A cross between the American bald eagle and the Australian red kangaroo, it symbolizes the friendship between our countries. Marquis Philips is a collaboration between American Dan Philips and Australian winemakers to make the most delicious, powerpacked wines on the planet. Marquis Philips began as a project to make wine with the simple goal to control the entire process, soup to nuts, from concept to vineyard, to market, to wine style, to price. The winemakers aim to create wines that are pleasure giving, dark, ripe, sweet, gulp-able, and loud, yet subtle. The grapes are harvested at the peak physiological ripeness and are bursting with flavor. Robert Parker says it best, ”Perhaps another way to think of these wines is that they are XXX-rated stuff. They’re not exactly wines for those wanting finesse, lightness, restraint, or intellectual challenge. These are totally decadent homages to joy and yumminess. Or, as a friend of mine said, they are ‘fragrantly delicious’”.
