AboutGilbert Family Wines
Gilbert Family Wines began in 2004 with fifth-generation winemaker Simon Gilbert, continuing a family line that reaches back to Joseph Gilbert’s 1847 planting at Pewsey Vale in Eden Valley. Simon’s own cellar work started at eighteen and was followed by Roseworthy studies and experience across several South Australian wine regions. His son Will now works beside him, carrying that thread into a sixth generation.
The wines draw on Mudgee, Orange and Eden Valley. Riesling, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and traditional-method sparkling wines are particular focuses.
Gilbert 2021 Riesling Pétillant-Naturel
Australian Sparkling
Fresh apple and citrus lead this naturally sparkling Riesling, with lemon curd and a lightly savoury note adding depth. A fine, energetic bead carries the fruit across a dry, textured palate, while bright acidity keeps the finish clean and refreshing. Serve well chilled with oysters, fried seafood, spicy noodles, sushi or fresh vegetable dishes and casual snacks.
Gilbert Family Wines 2021 Pétillant-Naturel Rosé
Australian Sparkling
Cloudy and bright pink, with a fine bead, this Sangiovese pét-nat brings watermelon, strawberry leaf, pear, sour cherry and chalky mineral notes. It is dry, fruit-driven and refreshing, with a chalky texture and vibrant, lively sparkle. The grapes come from Mudgee in New South Wales, and the finished wine is bottled at twelve percent alcohol.
