Under the leadership of Chief Winemaker David Bicknell, the winery combines traditional techniques with modern innovation to produce wines that reflect the unique character of the Yarra Valley terroir.
Oakridge places a strong emphasis on sustainability, using environmentally sensitive viticultural practices to ensure healthy vines and premium fruit.
