Sourced from 20 individual shiraz parcels from across the Barossa; 18 months in new and seasoned French oak. Crimson in the glass with notes of blackberry, dark plum and blueberry fruits supported by hints of baking spices, dried citrus rind, dark chocolate, olive tapenade, licorice, violets and earth. Bright and sinewy with a fine, chewy tannin grip, bright acidity finishing with a skip in its step and a lovely morello cherry flourish.

Gibson Wines was established in 1996 and draws on over 45 years of experience of its founder; viticulturist, geologist and winemaker, Rob Gibson.
Rob – with wife Anne and son Adam – uphold a ‘wine growing’ philosophy. A belief deeply rooted in an understanding of the relationship between vineyards, their cycle of growth and maximising flavour intensity in resultant wines.
During his years studying at Roseworthy College, and later as head of the first viticultural department of Penfolds, Rob’s passion for wine growing and geology led him to be known as ‘The Dirtman’.The Dirtman moniker continues with Gibson, as does the pursuit for maximising flavour.
