The philosophy of Alkina Wine Estate is deeply rooted in understanding, nurturing, and caring for the land. “We seek to understand, nurture, care for, and ultimately express this beautiful land in its wines, its values, and its experiences for visitors,” says Amelia Nolan, Winemaker and Managing Director. The name ‘Alkina,’ an Indigenous Australian girl’s name meaning ‘Moon’ or ‘Moonlight,’ reflects this respect for the land and the natural forces that contribute to the estate’s vibrant wines. Ancient stones and soils, organic and biodynamic viticulture, small-scale winemaking, and the creation of unique micro-terroir wines all play a part in Alkina’s dedication to authenticity and quality.
