The 2016 Nebbiolo is a lovely ripe true to style Hilltops Nebbiolo. These vines are meticulously looked after throughout the growing season. It is interesting to consider when the winemaking begins for such a great wine - Is it when the grapes reach Bryan at the winery or perhaps when "Windows" prunes the vines in Winter, or is it when the vines were planted by Mark, John, and Michael and there families. Or did this wine have its beginning when the soil was taking formation, obviously all the above and much more was involved in the final wine, so please enjoy, respect and linger over all that goes into each bottle as we have.

The 2017 Primitivo is from our original plantings of Primitivo planted in 1996. These vines were taken from cuttings at Cape Mentelle. The vines now resemble a bush vine and with lots of hand thinning and trimming we are able to nurture this difficult variety into this lovely wine.

Crafted from a field blend of Nebbiolo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Muscadelle, our 2022 Estate Grown Rosé embraces the traditional Italian method of co-fermentation, where the grapes are harvested and fermented together for a more integrated expression. The result is a beautifully dry and refreshing rosé, brimming with fresh fruit aromas, delicate strawberry notes, and a crisp, lively finish—a true pleasure to drink.

Pale ruby in the glass, with a pleasant red cherry and wild rose aroma. A savoury wine with fresh strawberry and lychee flavours. The palate shows a lovely high acidity giving it great potential to cellar for many years. An incredibly clean wine and a pure representation of Hilltops Nebbiolo from the pioneers of this variety in the region.

One could be mistaken for thinking Grove Estate was in the heart of Coonawarra with it's vivid red soil. It's in fact nestled in the emerging region of Hilltops in NSW and with the guidance of Canberra guru, Tim Kirk, this great Cabernet shows flavours and aromas of liquorice, blackberry and rich cassis.

In the glass: Full deep red. On the nose: Delicate redcurrant, plum, cedar and a light leafy lift. On the palate: Textured with a medium weight core of dark fruit, elegant line and touches of coffee, cherry and savoury oak.

The 2020 Garibaldi is a wine we have been contemplating producing for the past 10 years. A 50/50 blend of Nebbiolo and Shiraz made in the difficult year of 2020. The two previous years we had been in drought but this one toppped it of with only a fraction of our normal crop. So enjoy the wine, it is soft and full of fruit from the two countries that Garibaldi loved.
