The success of the 2001 vintage has been followed by an equally stunning 2002 and 2003. Sam’s family purchased the property in the 1960s and set about planting vines in 1971 but for various reasons nothing really happened and they were on the point of selling when Sam and his wife Rose decided to move from Adelaide and get the vineyard back into shape. After several years of hard work they have a mature vineyard of Shiraz and Cabernet they released their debut wine – Frux Frugis Shiraz. It is causing a real stir in Australia already and this is a name to watch.
"Is already being whispered about as a Cult-Wine-In-Waiting. It has heaps of rich, black fruit and smoky oak, and is plush and very McLaren Vale in style.” Max Allen

“The inaugural ’01 was a landmark for Mc Laren Shiraz styles, but this 2002 is, dare I say it, even finer and more impressive – phenomenal work” Matthew Jukes: matthewjukes.com

Natasha Mooney’s talents require little introduction to anyone who is familiar with the great vintages of E&E Black Pepper Shiraz, and along with Rachel Fox and Jane Gordon they created Fox Gordon. There were three wines in Fox Gordon's 2002 inaugural release totally some 900 cases – Hannah's Swing Shiraz, King Louis Cabernet Sauvignon and Eight Uncles Shiraz. These wines received instant acclaim in Australia, the United States and The United Kingdom and never one to rest on their laurels a white wine along with a delicious Cabernet / Tempranillo blend are in the pipeline. What differentiates these wines from blockbuster Barossa wines is Natasha’s skill at letting the wine talk, not bolstering it with over extracted elements or excessive oak. These are a breath of fresh air.
