In the words of winemaker Tim Kirk of Clonkilla fame: "The Grove Estate fruit is fantastic, it's not difficult to make really good wine when you're dealing with such terrific raw materials. The Hilltops district is now really hitting its straps as a producer of wines with real flavour and the elegant dimension that a cooler climate provides."
A 'Five Star' rating was achieved by Grove Estate in James Halliday's "Wine Companion 2007". In Halliday's words, this rating means that Grove Estate is an "Outstanding winery capable of producing wines of very high quality, and did so this year".
Two Trophies were awarded to the 2004 Cellar Block Shiraz at the Sydney International Wine Show 2006 for the 'Best Red Wine' and the 'Best Medium Bodied Red Wine'. These awards have been followed up with a Gold Medal at the prestigious Decanter World Wine Awards in London in July 2008 for the 2006 Cellar Block Shiraz Viognier and the Top Gold Medal in its class at the 2007 Royal Adelaide Wine Show. The 2007 Cellar Block Shiraz Viognier has also achieved 94 points in Nick Stock's Penguin Good Australian Wine Guide 2009.
Another Trophy winner is the 2006 Reserve Nebbiolo for the Best Red Wine made from an Italian variety at the 2008 Winewise Small Vignerons Awards in Canberra. Nick Stock again gave this wine a 93 point rating in the 2009 Penguin Wine Guide.
