Oakridge

YARRA VALLEY, VICTORIA

Oakridge Wines have truly earned their position as being amongst the most respected and admired producers in the Australian wine industry. Pioneers of the upper Yarra Valley, Oakridge saw the potential for making great wine on the rich red volcanic soils of this unique sub-region. They were at the forefront of reviving the Yarra Valley as a wine area in the early 1980s, and today, they have grown to become an internationally recognised wine producer of award-winning wines. Holding an impressive accumulated tally of over 500 domestic and international trophies and medals, Oakridge is a shining light in cool-climate, minimal-intervention viticulture and winemaking.

From vine to cellar, sustainable practices are at the forefront of all decision-making. Great wine begins in the vineyard, so the focus in the vineyard is on environmentally sensitive practices, and valuing the vine and soil health to grow the best possible fruit. The team’s expertise and innate understanding of the region shines through, with each site and aspect carefully chosen to suit each variety. All grapes are handpicked to maintain the uncompromising quality Oakridge is renowned for. In the cellar, a similar approach is taken, with very little additions made throughout the winemaking process. With such exceptional fruit, a gentle touch is all that is required. It is David Bicknell who heads up the team as Chief Winemaker – a true master who has helped to shape the modern styles of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that the Yarra Valley is known for. He is joined by Senior Winemaker Tim Perrin and Viticulturist Steve Faulkner, two creative talents in their own right. These meticulous hands all work together to ensure quality is at the core of what they grow and produce. They make wines which emanate freshness, balance and length, showing an understanding of the region.
