Marquis Philips was formed as a collaboration between the U.S. importer Dan Philips and Sparky and Sarah Marquis, highly-regarded Australian winemakers who brought Fox Creek to cult fame. Since late 2005, however, after a falling out between the founders, the Marquis have not been part of the enterprise. They started their own label, Mollydooker. Marquis Philips wines made since about 2005 have overseen by Chris Ringland, also a legendary Australian winemaker. Marquis Philips wines are known for their eye-catching, often provocative labels and mid-priced wines.
