DOWIE DOOLE
Winery Overview
DOWIE DOOLE is a story of two terroirs and time. Our home McLaren Vale, South Australia has unique, ancient terroirs that produce world-class wines. DOWIE DOOLE’s Estate Vineyards are in two of McLaren Vale’s most sought after and unique terroirs; The Dowie Vineyard on the sandy soils of Blewitt Springs and the Doole Vineyard on the ancient rocks of Tatachilla. These terroirs have evolved over time with geology as old as 650M years.
As custodians of these terroirs, we incorporate sustainable practices in the growing and crafting of our wines. We can do this as we have full control being a genuine grower-producer with all wine estate grown and estate made. With the wines being crafted to embody both a sense of place and an essence of Australia.
DOWIE DOOLE is a McLaren Vale experience of the best of the Australian lifestyle, our wines are crafted to be enjoyed sitting on the beach or by a fire or simply gathered with friends around a table, and that is why they are shared all around the world.
An expression of this Australian spirit can be found at the DOWIE DOOLE Tasting Pod. An immersive wine experience set in the rolling ancient Australian landscape. Where we proudly showcase the world-class quality of Australian Wine, McLaren Vale, and DOWIE DOOLE’s unique terroirs, to visitors from Australia and all over the world.
In 2020 the Dowie Doole Tasting Pod won two commendations at the South Australian Architecture Awards; Small Projects Architecture, and Sustainable Architecture
