 Awards and Reviews:
“A fair bit of the old struck match, white peach and lime, almond and spice. It’s savoury and nutty, something of an oatmeal thing going on, but also bright and juicy in the lime and ripe grapefruit flavour spectrum. Lots of flint and chalk, and plenty of power through the finish, a gentle bitterness and grip as it goes. They’ve turned out a very good wine in 2018.” – 94 Points – Gary Walsh, The Wine Front 2020

As artisans of cool climate wine our ethos is simple, wise winemaking with fresh appeal. The Gilbert label was established in 2010, and is our first premium boutique family collection.
The wines in this collection are predominantly made from grapes grown in Orange, New South Wales. We are ever conscious of our role as winemakers striving to craft contemporary wines that are highly reflective of the climates within which they are grown.

Description

Simon Gilbert – Winemaker

As his friends, mentors and previous employees have gone on to international acclaim, Dad has quietly continued doing what he loves, away from the limelight… crafting great wine for you all to enjoy! Wine of purity, elegance and vibrancy. Wine that is varietally true to itself, clean and technically sound.

It’s a real honour to be working side by side with him, someone of his calibre who is revered by so many of his contemporaries. Dad has had a significant impact on the career of countless young winemakers across the countryside and I feel incredibly fortunate to be one of those. He gets real enjoyment in shaping and contributing to the careers of the new generation in the wine industry, something that is a true testament to his character. Dad is always willing to share his wisdom and expertise with whoever is asking and I know I am the lucky one that’s able to pick his brains everyday!

His passion for the industry is clear and unwavering. 40+ years on from when he first hosed out a press and dug out his first fermenter he continues to strive for excellence in his wines, regardless of what it takes.

He is a real perfectionist and someone who loves what vintage brings out in himself and also those people under his guidance. If I end up being half the winemaker Simon is, I’ll be happy. — WILL GILBERT
