The word “Nikela” (pronounced “Ni-care-la”) is a Nguni (Xhosa/Zulu) word meaning “to offer a gift of dedication, respect or a tribute to one’s ancestors” - this wine being a tribute to winemaker Jeremy Walker’s late parents, Eddie and Betty, who contributed greatly to the establishment of Grangehurst, which was named after their childhood homes - “The Grange” and “Hurst Close” - in Engla

Rated as "Top Value Wine" in Australia by The Real Review, the Grove Estate Hilltops cool climate shiraz has lashings of blue fruits, sour cherry, anise, cola, brambles and all with a sappy, complexing edge. The acidity and the tannins work beautifully with the lively and plush fruit and provide cut, structure and grip.

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. The two previous years were in drought but the fires of 2020 topped it off with only a fraction of normal crop, but they remained undaunted, and created this well-balanced wine. The fresh strawberry flavours of the Nebbiolo blend perfectly with the soft peppery chocolate flavour of their finest Hilltops Shiraz. Taste The fresh strawberry

Underneath the aromatic lift is a layer of red berry fruit characters which lead into a soft and supple palate following with a clear focused acidity and fine tannins, all finishing with a trademark long persistence that is fresh and slightly salty.
