WINE STORE
In 2014, we received our first 5 star winery rating and Whicher Ridge was named as one of the Ten Dark Horse Wineries in the 2015 Halliday Australian Wine Companion, which was a rewarding accolade after the many years of hard work spent establishing our vineyard, winery and cellar door. Since then we have been awarded 5 star winery ratings by Halliday again in 2015, 2017 and 2018.
In 2018 and 2019, Whicher Ridge has been rated as one of Australia’s top 300 wineries by The Real Review.

2016 Long Road Shiraz
After making truly wonderful shiraz wines in the Barossa Valley, some of the most interesting and complex shiraz wines that we were tasting in Western Australia were from the Frankland River sub-region of the Great Southern wine region. So, naturally, we had to make one!
-
2016 Elevation Cabernet
Our cabernet sauvignon vines were grown by Neil from cuttings sourced from a friends’ cabernet block in the planted in the 1970’s in the Margaret River wine region. Our Elevation cabernet vines have a very fine pedigree!
-
2016 Henry Road Chardonnay
Being in the Margaret River region, winemakers here are passionate about Chardonnay and we’re no exception. Our Chardonnay may have been fermented and matured in oak barrels for 11 months, but it’s vibrantly fresh and flavoursome, with an amazingly soft and velvety texture.
-
2016 Une Rangee Petit Verdot
We have one row of this variety in our Whicher Ridge vineyard which we planted in 2005. Une Rangée is the French translation for One Row. Our Petit Verdot is made in ‘petit’ volumes with only 120 cases made in 2016.
-
2018 Elevage Sauvignon Blanc
The inspiration for making this style came about from a trip to Austria. Our approach to combine some barrel fermentation with an extended period of time maturing on yeast lees has produced a beautifully textured and intensely flavoured wine.
-
2019 Pretty Flamingo Rosé
We love our first ever Rosé for it’s generosity of flavours and it’s ability to match with a wide range of foods, . Warning, you may fall in love with it too!

2009 Redtail
Redtail is a wine which we are particularly proud of. It is a uniquely Australian sparkling wine style! Ours is a blend of Shiraz and Viognier, and we have named it after the small flocks of endangered Redtail Forest black cockatoos that visit our farm regularly during summer.
-
2016 Whitetail
A blanc de blanc sparkling made from chardonnay. The secondary ferment occurs in the bottle, which is when the magic happens and those glorious fine beads of bubbles are created. Whitetail is named after the endangered Whitetail Black Cockatoos who regularly visit our farm.
