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

96 Points - James Suckling. The Dead Arm Shiraz, named after the vine disease caused by the fungus Eutypa Lata that occasionally strikes vineyards globally, boasts an ironic title for a wine of its iconic caliber. Regarded as one of Australia's premier Shiraz offerings, the 2018 vintage reveals a pronounced savoury character compared to previous Dead Arm releases.

In the centre of the Côte-Rôtie appellation, in the municipality of Ampuis, stands the locality of “Bonnivières”, a handsome east-facing hillside of mica schist where this Cuvee is grown.
