Description

Third generation WA owners, the Yukich Family, have realised a long-held dream by returning the heritage listed grounds and winery of Swan Location 11 (originally listed in 1829 and renamed Houghtons in 1836), back to WA hands. By christening our winery and grounds in tribute to our Grandfather Nikola, we continue our family’s passion and dedication to produce premium wines. Nikola would be proud of the Estate and of the brand; showing him ploughing his Swan Valley lands under three generations of our heritage listed Jacaranda trees.

The family continue to invest in the future of their wines with Damian Hutton as General Manager and Chief Winemaker, Matty Trent managing the vineyards and Dan Charter crafting their wines. Damian brings an innovative perspective to grape growing and winemaking striving for great wine quality, sustainable practices, and always working to make wines that are enjoyed by their customers.

Damian’s move to Nikola Estate in 2020 bringing over 18 years of experience and more than 50 trophies at national and regional wine shows was a major coup. Damian is passionate about the Perth Hills and Swan Valley wine regions. Matty joined Nikola in 2019 bringing over 20 years of experience with him and a passion for alternative varieties and sustainable viticulture. Matty has worked with a variety of production systems and wine styles in Margaret River, Frankland River and many regions surrounding Adelaide.

Dan Charter has been making wines with Oakover since 2014, having worked in the wine industry for over 10 years. Dan continues to hone his craft working with parcels of fruit from premium regions in Western Australia and has been recognised for his award winning wines, receiving gold medals at the Wine Show of Western Australia, Swan Valley and the Australian Small Winemakers Show.

Partners in Wine WA

Kirk and Rebecca welcome you as a Partner in Wine! We are a couple of West Australians who met over a bottle of wine, and whose love developed like a full-bodied red. Before long we found our weekends planned around West Australia’s diverse wine regions in an attempt to uncover smaller, niche wineries and the hidden gems amongst their delectable wine creations.

Like you, we appreciate good times and great wine – enjoyed with friends and loved ones – and our journey has taken us through each of the beautiful wine regions of this great state, sampling thousands of wines along the way.

Many WA wines are highly rated by the likes of James Halliday – Australian wine critic, winemaker, and senior wine competition judge – and many prestigious national awards are bestowed on our state’s wine produce each year. WA’s wine is world renowned and highly sought after, but at the same time a large number of boutique wines are hard to come by in major stores, with the winemakers choosing to sell only through their cellar door.

We choose small, WA-only boutique wineries so that you can sample a special drop from our own backyard. Every wine we have tasted and personally endorse, so join us for a taste of WA. Let your winery trail begin – from the comfort of your own home!
