A new sparkling Chardonnay from DogRidge – we love that pup
Before leaving to Germany for our summer holidays we were able to try a new sparkling coming out of McLaren Vale. Introduced as ‘The Pup’, one of the first bottles out of DogRidge’s cellar arrived on our doorstep and we couldn’t resist opening it on the night. It was also the birthday of our dog, so we thought that the occasion was appropriate.
Sparkling Chardonnay from DogRidge
Wine maker Fred Howard this time delivers a sparkling Chardonnay with the best match of variety, vineyard and terroir.
The resealable top allows you to save a sip for later, if you really have to: Peel – Lift – Reseal – the three magic words for this excellent closure of your bottle. It is the first time I have used this seal, it was as easy as with the only open question for us remaining, whether the seal really works. Why: we simply drank the sparkling on the night and therefore didn’t have any leftovers to be sealed for the night.
The official release date of this sparkling is the 1st of August – so you have to be a bit patient before trying it out yourselves.

The Pup – oder ein neuer Welpe kommt aus dem Hause DogRidge aus McLaren Vale. Wir hatten das Vergnuegen eine der ersten Flaschen zu testen, weit vor dem offiziellen Startdatum, dem 1. August. Ein herrlich frischer Australian Sparkling, frisch, fruchtig und ideal fuer den schoenen Sommerabend mit ein paar Freunden auf der Terasse. ‘Der Pup’ kommt in einer Flasche mit neuem wiederverschliessbaren Verschluss, ‘Peal – Lift – Reseal’ sind die magischen Worte – letztlich benoetigten wir diesen Komfort nicht, denn wir tranken die Flasche an jenem Abend komplett aus.
Also: ab dem 1.8. im australischen Einzelhandel, hoffentlich bald auch einmal in Europa.
