There is a certain magic in the connection between food and wine.

Many of you know the exceptional hospitality of Muse Catering from our exclusive Wine Club events. This Thursday, we’re bringing that Yarra Valley spirit to their waterfront venue, The Chandlery, in Port Melbourne.

From the iconic 864 Chardonnay to our Original Vineyard Cabernet, join Senior Winemaker Tim Dexter for an evening of stories, craft, and nine site-specific wines.

We’d love for you to be part of our final circle. Last tickets available here: https://events.humanitix.com/meet-the-winemaker-oakridge-winery

Disclaimer: Tim promises there will be no actual foot stomping involved in the evening’s festivities. 🤨

There is a profound stillness in the valley this time of year, particularly on a morning such as this.

As we pause to acknowledge the sacrifice and spirit of the ANZACs, we remain grateful for the peace of the land we walk upon.

We will be opening our doors a little later tomorrow, welcoming guests from 12PM for both bookings and walk-ins.

A moment for our Henk Vineyard.

The Real Review has just released their 2026 finalists, and our 864 Henk Aqueduct Block Chardonnay 2023 stands among the top three white wines in the country.

To be selected by Huon Hooke and the panel via such a demanding selection process validates what we’ve always known: the Henk Vineyard is a site of rare distinction. This shortlisting places the Aqueduct Block at the pinnacle of contemporary Australian winemaking. It is a wine of tension, terroir, and—above all—intent.

Winners will be announced alongside the 9th annual Top Wineries of Australia ranking on May 11th.

Ensure this finalist has a place in your cellar. Limited quantities are available for purchase at our Cellar Door and online via this link: https://oakridgewines.com.au/wine/864-henk-aqueduct-block-chardonnay-2023/

V26 UPDATE:⁠ The long tail of Vintage 2026.

It has been a season of starts and stops—a marathon rather than a sprint. 95% of the fruit is home, with only the late-ripening Cabernet from Coldstream and the Upper Yarra remaining.

While we say a grateful goodbye to the seasonal hands who helped shape this year’s story, our focus turns inward. We are carefully "putting to sleep" the 2026 vintage, ensuring every barrel in the cellar is watched over with the same intensity we gave the vines.

It’s a transition from the elements to the oak, and it’s where the magic truly settles.

V26 UPDATE:⁠ The rhythm is shifting.

We have spent the recent weeks working through the autumn mist to bring in the core of the 2026 vintage. With roughly three-quarters of the fruit now resting in the winery, the energy has moved from the rows to the ferments.

While we wait on the final late-ripening blocks, including our Syrah and Cabernet, we’re reflecting on the fruit quality so far. Smaller berries and lower yields have resulted in incredible concentration and skin-to-juice ratios, promising deep phenolics and exceptional depth. For the whites, the natural acidity and freshness are particularly striking.

Despite the challenges, the rain seemed to arrive exactly when the vines needed a reset. The work is far from complete, but we are feeling a genuine sense of confidence in what this vintage will become.

Experience the spirit of the harvest at the estate this Easter. While the winery is at its busiest, our cellar door remains the best place to explore the nuances of the Yarra Valley. Our "Place for Pinot" tasting flight is available daily (excluding Good Friday) until April 27th.
