The Galverno Langhe Rosso is a blend of Dolcetto and Nebbiolo, with Nebbiolo skins from their Barolo Ravera production adding a unique touch. Grown in prime Barolo terroir, the Dolcetto contributes exceptional fruitiness and rare complexity. The result?

A very enjoyable wine, bursting with bright red fruits with the structure and body from the Nebbiolo coming though on the palate. A great find. About the Pr

Barolo's little brother, Langhe Nebbiolo, is a younger and more approachable wine that doesn't require years of aging to soften the tannins, unlike some Barolos. While still retaining all the charming characteristics of Nebbiolo, the addition of 10% Barbera into the blend gives it a softer side. Expect beautifully perfumed red fruits and a smooth, balanced, and long finish. Taste Canebbio is an elegant and refined wine, and its colour of mellow red garnet shades out to burnt orange near the side

Bronze Medal - DWWA. A great Barolo from the cru Ravera, close to the villages of Barolo and Novello, from the extraordinary 2019 vintage.

This rare wine from The Kingsvale Vineyard, retains its freshness, with delicious, sweet fruity flavour. Oak and fruit tannins gives structure and dry out the finish. The 2013 vintage was extremely dry and so only a small vintage was produced making it a rich, full-bodied shiraz more like a Barossa style than your typical Hilltops variety. This is the last harvest to ever come from the Kingsvale Vineyard and has the potential for another 10 years of careful cellaring but is ready to be drunk now

The 2020 Garibaldi is a wine Grove Estate has been contemplating for 10 years. This is a 50/50 blend of Nebbiolo and Shiraz made in the difficult year of 2020.
