Winemaker Simon Gilbert started Gilbert Family Wines in 2004, but this family business has a wine history that goes back six generation­s. Joseph Gilbert left London for South Australia, acquiring land in Eden Valley. In 1842 he not only planted the first grapes in the region, but establishe­d the first vineyard and winery. The Gilbert + Gilbert label is a testament to that legacy, focusing only on three Rieslings: this single-vineyard wine, an off-dry style and a museum reserve.

RJ This is so clean for a 2015! Extremely bright, fresh, vibrant and juicy with a textured and lively palate. White stone fruit of lovely purity and wet-stone precision.

SK Still youthful and fresh, brimming with lemons and grapefruit in a light, dry, elegant style.

AR Evolved and quite broad on the nose, showing delicious apple and citrus fruit with good tangy, clean acidity and an overall seamless, refreshing balance.
