Winery Overview
The Gilbert Family Wine Company was established in 2004 and trades as three entities; Wineworks of Australia, Simon’s family wine label, Gilbert and the well known and awarded tasting room, The Cellar by Gilbert.
Sourcing fruit from Orange, Mudgee, and Eden Valley, Gilbert wines have received countless awards, reviews and medals, and is a Halliday 5 star rated winery.
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.
Having identified the need in Australia for Winemaking Production and Consultancy for Premium Wine Producers, since 2004, the company has grown to incorporate Wine Export and Wine Brokering, which are now two large aspects of the business.
