DogRidge is located at the base 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 optimizes sun exposure and canopy health,
resulting in ripe fruit of intense color and quality. This desirable
combination has led to the creation of wines that express outstanding depth
of color, aromatic elegance and richness of flavor.
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. |
