About Grove Estate
On the 7th October 1989 (Brian and Suellen’s wedding day) the first plantings at Grove Estate began. However, all the vines died, due to a drought and Brian having no idea what he was doing. He then attended a three day course in viticulture at the old Orange Ag College and after this, he knew all about wine making and growing grapes and hasn’t killed a grape vine since. ?
The Grove Estate Vineyards now comprise 100 hectares of vines over two properties either side of Young. The Vineyards are substantially planted to Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as a number of alternative varieties.
Zinfandel, also known as Primitivo was planted as far back as 1996 and the Nebbiolo is an absolute stand out variety for the area.
The Cellar Door was first established in 1999, just 4km from Young on the Murringo Road and is the most substantial in the region – open 7 days a week.
The Cellar Door has undergone substantial renovations in recent years and now has a large under cover outdoor deck, where you can take in the views over the vineyard in while enjoying our award winning wines. Gourmet platters are also available on booking.
L’Atelier by Aramis Vineyards was founded in 2012, dedicated to supplying a hand-selected range of quality wines to the independent on and off trade. From small beginnings we now operate across NSW, QLD, VIC and WA as well as in our home state of South Australia. Our distribution company was founded on our absolute belief that there was nobody better to represent our McLaren Vale brand than our own team. From that point our mission was clear - to bring together a collection of wine that would complement and match the quality of our own, and to present these to premium retail and hospitality trade across Australia. We believe in working collaboratively with carefully selected producers from Australia and beyond, each sharing the same passion and commitment to quality. Inspired by the Ateliers of 19th century Paris, we see ourselves as a meeting place for highly talented craftspeople at the top of their trade. Our portfolio consists of premium boutique wines from across Australia, New Zealand, Italy and Spain, all carefully selected to represent the very essence of their region, but most importantly at approachable price-points. We do not aim to build a trophy cabinet, we believe that you do not have to spend a fortune to drink like a king, and our selection reflects our ability to seek out wines that consistently over-deliver and represent the very best value.
