About Gilbert Wines

A family winery with deep roots in Mount Barker

Gilbert Wines describes itself as a family run, owned and operated producer, and that sense of continuity is a big part of the winery’s identity. The business was established in 1985 and sits within a broader family story that stretches across four generations on the land, giving the winery a grounded and practical feel rather than one built purely around marketing.

A Great Southern site shaped by soil and climate

Mount Barker has long been one of the key areas of the Great Southern for cool-climate wine, and Gilbert Wines draws much of its character from that setting. The winery highlights the rich soils of Mount Barker as an important part of the vineyard story, while your own current page also points to gravelly loam and the cool nights that help shape fruit with freshness and detail.

Riesling, Shiraz and a recognisable regional style

Gilbert Wines is especially associated with Riesling and Shiraz, with Wine Companion listing those as the winery’s most awarded styles. The wider range also includes Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, which helps give the label broad appeal, but Riesling and Shiraz remain the clearest signatures of the house and of the Mount Barker setting behind it.

Why wine lovers seek out Gilbert Wines

Part of the appeal of Gilbert Wines is that it feels approachable without losing its regional identity. There is a family warmth to the brand, but also a clear focus on quality table wines and on producing flavours that reflect the land they come from. For many drinkers, Gilbert’s sits in that rewarding middle ground where the wines are easy to enjoy yet still distinctly Great Southern.
