DogRidge is a grape and wine producer specializing in the juicier varieties and blends that capture McLaren Vale’s elegance, perfume and food-friendly charm. DogRidge started when David and Jen Wright discovered their first 40 acre vineyard in the ancient soils of McLaren Flat’s Kurragong Formation. The DogRidge family grew and , in 2005 Fred and Sarah Howard joined in with the sole ambition to make great McLaren Vale wines. The cellar door was born and shortly after, the art gallery.
The friendly and experienced personalities at the cellar door will ensure you are entertained, educated and guided through a tasting experience around the refectory tables.
Treasures to expect from DogRidge include a James Halliday, 96-point rated Cabernet, a special Wild Tree Extra-Virgin Olive Oil tasting with Jen’s sourdough bread, a botrytis dessert wine , a fortified Viognier, along with a concise collection of delectable produce.
It’s a delight to taste lovely wines while peacefully negotiating the gallery, which includes mixed-media bid life on canvas, landscapes, portraits and sculptures.
The winery offers a calm, unobtrusive and relaxed atmosphere in a creek-side setting among the gum trees. The revegetated native corridor invites occasional koalas, echidnas, kangaroos and joeys, blue wrens and a list of native birds too long to mention. DogRidge is proud of its environmental record, with property management awards focused on sustainability and minimal impact on the environment. These efforts include the incorporation of biodiversity into the vineyards, the constant management and renovation of areas of native vegetation, recycling of wine barrel oak and green waste, and conservation of precious water resources. Open seven days a week, head to DogRidge to enjoy the intimate cellar door and gallery, heritage wines and to see the teams commitment to producing distinctive wines that celebrate McLaren Vales beauty.
