Dog Ridge Original Plantings McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021

Welcome to Australia’s premium region of McLaren Vale home to so many high quality boutique wineries and exceptional reds – especially Shiraz. McLaren Vale's Dog Ridge is well known for their highly-prized old vines, and these few hand-selected French barrels of DogRidge Shiraz are made exclusively from the pre-clonal Original Plantings at DogRidge from the 1940s. It’s only made in excellent vintages like 2021. DogRidge is a boutique family estate sitting amid 90 acres of premium McLaren Vale vineyards and boasting some very highly-prized old vines. The state co owned by Viticulturalist Dave Wright and Winemaker Fred Howard, and their wives Jen and Sarah. Together they certainly make a winning team! Dog Ridge is the name of an old-fashioned vine rootstock, but seemed very apt as an estate name, as the house – filled with the couples’ four-legged friends – sits on a ridge overlooking these vines.
