Wine Description
Citrus Blossom. Key Lime. Slate. Elegant. Fine.
Sourced from the foothills of Mt Canobolas in Orange, these vineyards have soil rich in volcanic ash and unique topography. Plentiful sunshine with the cooler climate allows the fruit to develop intense aroma and maintain flavour, giving these grapes a long mouth feel and flavour profile.
Fermented in a combination of Stainless Steel and concrete with maturation on lees. The major component, the concrete tan ferment, was halted at approximately 4.9g/L residual sugar to achieve the desired flavour, sugar and acid balance.
Winemaker's Bio
Owner and chief winemaker, Simon Gilbert has successfully built a reputation as one of Australia’s leading winemakers. Critical to his success has been his development of wine styles using varietals unique to cool climate regions, as well as a consistently strong performance in national and international wine shows, wine trade reviews and marketplace presentation. Simon has been responsible for crafting wines that have received more than 60 trophies and 1,500 medals since 1985.
Will Gilbert, Simon’s son, became the Assistant Winemaker in 2014 and Winemaker in 2016, and has become the driving force for innovation, experimentation, and further attention to crafting wines which represent each of the regions. The Gilbert brand represents the next generation of winemaking, as Will Gilbert takes on more of the winemaking and company direction.
