DogRidge is located on the foothills of The Range over looking the McLaren Vale wine region.
This premium South Australian wine-growing region is known for its consistency and reliability. The DogRidge Vineyards employ modern viticultural practices, which optimise sun exposure and canopy health, resulting in ripe fruit of intense colour and quality. This desirable combination has led to the creation of wines that express outstanding depth of colour, aromatic elegance and richness of flavour.
DogRidge owns 140 acres (56 hectares) and operates established grapevines ranging in age from 2001 plantings to some of the oldest vines remaining in the region today. At the McLaren Flat vineyards, DogRidge boasts some 60+ year-old Shiraz that form the basis of their bottled product. The soils vary considerably over a small area giving them the opportunity to select small parcels of the best fruit for small batch fermentation.
DogRidge Vineyards also supply premium grapes every vintage to many well-known Australian wine brands made by Beringer Blass, Wirra Wirra, Penfolds (Rosemount), Orlando Wyndham (Pernod Ricard), Dutschke, Chapel Hill, Kangarilla Road, Mr.Riggs, Wayne Thomas, Tapestry, and most recently Marquis-Philips.
DogRidge the name comes from one of the vigneron?s (Dave Wright) university textbooks and is in fact an extremely vigorous grape vine rootstock that is no longer used in modern viticulture. Jen and David adopted the name as it suited the family?s extreme love of dogs and the position of their home on a ridge in McLaren Flat. DogRidge can be one or two words depending on your mood. Either way, it?s lovely wine however you say it.
Cheers, Fred Howard (Wine)
