The South Australian Wine Industry is deserving of its international reputation for excellence. Over seventy per cent of national wine exports come from South Australia thats over two million bottles leaving our State every week for overseas destinations.

Fox Creek Wines was established and awarded the Bushing Trophy and Gold Medal for the best wine in the McLaren Vale district, in 1995. Not bad for their first wine, a 1994 Shiraz. Three other wines were released in 1995, a 1994 Chardonnay, a 1995 Verdelho and a 1995 Sauvignon Blanc. "We were unprepared for our instant success - who, what and where is Fox Creek?", Their only marketing attempts until early 1996 were sales to local retail outlets and a mail order list which has grown to include many wine lovers in all States of Australia. Fox Creek Wines are now available in all States and from the cellar door sales area located in a 1891 vintage stone cottage at the vineyard. Fox Creek's flamboyant winemaker Sparky Marquis is ably assisted by his wife Sarah and an energetic staff. The winery has been named "New Winery of the Year" in the December Issue of Vogue Entertaining to add to their many other trophies. Why not call in and meet Sparky and his team and try some of the outstanding wines for yourself.
