This is a great achievement and made all the sweeter as Gilberts are celebrating 25 years of growing Riesling this year. The initial planting of Riesling & Chardonnay was made in 1985. The beginning of a great journey. Matthew Gilbert flew to Canberra to receive the trophy and a handshake from Mr Wolf Blass AM the International Riesling Ambassador. Gilberts Riesling quickly gained an enviable reputation amongst the wine loving commu-nity for a wine that displays the terroir of the Mount Barker Region.
Jim and Bev Gilbert are proud to continue the journey of producing great flavours from the Great Southern of Western Australia.
