Gilbert Family Wines have their roots in the Eden Valley of South Australia, where Joseph Gilbert was one of the first to plant grapes. They still make high quality Rieslings there under the Gilbert + Gilbert label. Now, however, the majority of their wines come from the cool-climate and increasingly fashionable regions of Orange and Mudgee in New South Wales. Simon Gilbert established the winery in 2004 after working for more than two decades as winemaker for some of the top producers in the area. Simon and his son, Will, specialise in cool-climate wines with a common thread of elegance, purity and structure. This winery is right at the front of Australia's new wave, making a wide range of award-winning wines which balance traditional styles and techniques with the more experimental. The Sangiovese grapes were harvested in Mudgee earlier than normal to maintain the bright fresh varietal characteristics. They were destemmed, must chilled and pressed, after which the settled juice was racked, and fermentation initiated. Fermentation was then monitored and temperature maintained between 13 - 16C to allow for a steady ferment. Once the baum level had dropped more than 2/3 of its value, the wine was transferred to bottle with 12.5 grams/litre of residual sugar. The wine then lay down to complete fermentation before being released in June 2021. Vibrant pink, frothy rhubarb, watermelon and wild red berry notes. Dry, tangy and refreshing delicious!! Contains sediment, which you can either embrace and choose to mix into the wine with a gentle roll of the bottle, or stand the bottle upright for a few hours to settle and pour the clear wine off the top.
