Ash Ridge and Oak Estate Wineries

The third winery we visited was Ash Ridge. Here the tasting took place in a modern restaurant-like room. Once more, six wines. In general, I liked the Pinot Gris' at every place very much, also here. Furthermore, Ash Ridge was the only of the four wineries to have a Riesling, which I liked very much. I even bought a bottle of it, but that will probably not see Europe😉 However, it has to be the "right" moment to open it. Last, but not least, we went to Oak Estate, a winery owned by a German-Swiss couple. Oak Estate is a very beautiful place and the tasting took place in the garden behind of the building - very nice on this sunny afternoon. Chicks were also moving around. At Oak Estate we also got a really good cold platter (almost all of it home made) to eat. After the amount of wine we already had had, that was also kind of necessary😀 Unfortunately, over eating the wines we tasted lost a bit of prominence. The reds, Cabernet and Syrah, were very good though.Read more
