Rocky Ridge Vineyard and Cellar Door

Lot 468 Plains Road, Sellicks Hill SA 5174

Our premium Rocky Ridge Shiraz and GSM is produced from low yielding vines from the Sellick Hill region of McLaren Vale, South Australia.

Traditional and minimal handling techniques allowed the wines to be fermented in open vats, basket pressed and then matured in seasoned French Oak.

Only the finest parcel of the fruit goes into the Rocky Ridge series, hence the small volume.

Rocky Ridge Wines produces premium Shiraz and GSM (Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre) and these are available throughout the region at selected restaurants and cafes as well as directly from our cellar door sales.

Come and visit the Rocky Ridge Vineyard and spend some time tasting our wine whilst overlooking the vineyard and the further Southern Vales wine region from the slopes of Sellicks Hill and the vantage of our raised viewing deck.

Myponga Beach

Myponga Beach Road, Myponga SA 5202
Myponga Beach occupies a small valley that has been carved by Myponga Creek and is now partially filled with river and marine sediments forming a flat plain occupied by a few houses and an elongated lagoon and wetland that flows across the southern end of the beach. Houses and shacks line the rear of the beach; so much so a seawall has been built to protect some of the properties. Fifty-metre high grassy bluffs border each end of the beach, with rocks and reefs extending seaward. It is moderately steep and fronted by a narrow continuous bar, with waves averaging about 0.5 metres. The beach was used as a port and the ruins of the old jetty are still present. Swimming is relatively safe in the sandy central portion of the beach and it is a popular spot for both launching boats and for shore-based fishing off the adjacent rock reefs.
