Winemaker's Bio
2016 saw Simon and Will come together to establish the Gilbert and Gilbert Wine Company t/as Gilbert + Gilbert. This collection of wines encapsulates the Gilbert family legacy and heritage of hand-crafted cool climate wines from South Australia.
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.
