Dr Edge

A new venture by former Bay of Fires Winemaker, Peter Dredge, this new and exciting label produces some of Tasmania’s most stimulating Pinot Noir. The Dr Edge Pinot range currently uses fruit from three different Tasmanian regions including the Tamar Valley, Derwent Valley and East Coast. Peter has just been named as one of the finalists for the 2017 Young Gun of Wine Awards, highlighting his talent in the winemaking industry.

Working with Gerald Ellis of Meadowbank, the grapes sourced for these Dr Edge wines come from this cool climate, award winning and family owned estate vineyard. Fruit from this vineyard also goes into producing other wines from estates such as Arras, Bay of Fires, Kate Hill, Glaetzer-Dixon, Domaine Simha and Dawson & James. Apart from producing his own label, Peter is helping relaunch the Meadowbank wines with a partnership between the Ellis and Dredge families.
