I absolutely love blending varieties together! It is my favourite part of winemaking. It’s so much fun capturing the beauty and strength of each variety to make a wine with elegance, balance and harmony. To me, you get the best of both worlds! Sarah

The fruit for the 2006 comes once again from our top vineyards: Prime and Gateway. This year we raised the bar for fruit to qualify for Enchanted path and in our Mollydooker tastings we are currently rating the 2006 higher than the 2005.

Excerpts from reviews of the 2005 Enchanted Path

The 2005 Enchanted Path is fashioned from relatively young vines. It reveals an amazing opaque purple/blue/black color (always a hallmark of Marquis wines), a full bodied, powerful, smoky nose, extravagant layers of fruit, spice, glycerin, and extract, full body, superb intensity, tremendous richness, and
a seamless personality. It is a textbook example of a southern Australian red at its richest, fullest, and most pure. For consumers with open minds and progressive palates this amazing red should age beautifully for 10-15 years.
