About Gilberts Wines

Our vineyard is situated in the Mount Barker sub region of the Great Southern Wine region. The Great Southern wine region lies along the Southern Ocean on West Australia's south coast. Our vineyard is approximately 70km from the ocean. Our wines benefit from cool climate viticulture in a clean and green environment. We have a rich history of growing great flavours for the world. The first two generations of Gilbert's exported apples to the United Kingdom and also ran livestock (sheep and cattle) on our 650 acre property . The third generation took the leap into establishing a vineyard with Jim and Bev Gilbert planting the first of our vines in 1985. Subsequent plantings were made between 1987 to 1997 leaving us with 24 acres of vineyard producing World class Riesling, Shiraz, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. We continue to run our sheep on the property for wool and Australian Lamb. Our cellar door was established in 1990 in our old apple packing shed. It retains its history and character today creating a unique environment for you to sample and enjoy our award winning wines. In 2003, we extended onto our cellar door with the addition of a café. Once again ahead of the times, Jim and Bev noticed a unique opportunity in the area, creating one of the first cellar doors to have a café attached in the region. The café is open Friday to Monday 10am to 5pm for you to enjoy the best local produce and food our region has to offer whilst also enjoying a glass or bottle of our award winning wines. In 2014, the fourth generation of Gilbert's returned to the family business with two of Jim and Bev's three sons (Clinton and Matthew) stepping into the family business. Exciting times lay ahead for our wines and family business with the next generation bringing loads of energy, enthusiasm and ideas! Over the years our wines have maintained their high quality and have received numerous awards. We are currently a 5 start winery in James Halliday's Wine Companion with many high scores. We have also exported our wines to many international destinations including the US, Canada, UK, Singapore and Switzerland. A couple of our standout performers in the most recent addition of James Halliday's Wine Companion were our 2018 Riesling and 2017 Reserve Shiraz both scoring 95 points!

J Mason
Just a quick note to say I am so glad I found Australia Tasting Room! Since leaving Australia, I have missed some of my favorite wines. I researched other freight companies, but none offered the personal touch service of Australia Tasting Room. You have a great selection from the best vineyards. You added others upon request, and also gave great recommendations when asked. And customer service does not stop with the purchase— The team keep me updated on the shipment every step of the way! I cannot imagine a better service from people who know wine and love to share that knowledge. You have a customer for life! Cheers, J Mason

The wine was delivered by GSO Courier early this am and was in perfect shipping condition. The bottle temperature was cool to the touch which is amazing given we have been hitting 37C every day for the last week here in our California summer.
Well done!
I have put the wine into our temperature controlled bottle storage to let them rest for a week (mostly for the 3 bottles of red). I did put one of the Rosés in the frig which we will try tomorrow because we are out to dinner tonight with friends.
Your Rose of Virginia is my favorite rosé, above French and Californians that we have consumed with Tablas Creek “Dianthus” from near Paso Robles being a second.
Now that we have experienced a shipment from you, I am sure we will order a couple of cases more but will wait until weather is cooler for us and the wine.
Again thanks for an excellent wine and the good service.
Cheers,
Richard A.

The wine arrived last week in good shape - nothing broken or leaked. Your packing design is impressive. Laying it down for a couple of months to settle in. Looking forward to enjoying it. Thanks very much

Australia Tasting Room is a very fine company, with professional direction and management. I appreciate the friendly service, and all your efforts above and beyond to make all deliveries happen. Most impressive were the instant answers and responses any time I had a question. All during a pandemic! Pretty amazing when you think about it.
Highest regards,
Judy M
P.S. One Contact, One Process, and One Delivery - customers and wine treated equally and expertly, with care. You really can’t beat that! Great job.

Hi,
Glad to hear my last case from our trip is on its way!
Your service has been very helpful in getting my wine shipped safely to me. All previous four cases arrived safely.
Now I need to order my “wine needs” via internet and use your services again.
Best regards,
George

Amazing professionalism and kind assistance from Australia Tasting Room!
I was experiencing confusion with a wine order from a winery in Australia and Australia Tasting Room actually intervened to help clarify things. And not just with a simple email, but with a phone call!! We spoke directly and sorted out the details. It was a wonderful reminder that chivalry and quality customer service still exists!! We will use them in a heartbeat!!

Our twelve pack of Tasmanian treats arrived yesterday afternoon without a scratch on them! Now we get to enjoy drinking them with family and friends. Hopefully we can toast some excellent defensive draft picks by the Packers soon!
Thanks for an excellent experience with Australia Tasting Room!
If you ever find yourself in Wisconsin, let us know. We're only an hour away from Lambeau.

I received all of the wines. That was certainly quicker than I expected. I appreciate everything that you and Cape Mentelle did to make it easy ship all of the wines to us.

Thank you again for your expedited attention to our order and its shipping. The wine has arrived in wonderful condition, and we shared a bottle with one of our friends on Friday who enjoyed it as much as we did.
We will continue to watch for its availability in our area, and we wish you continued success.
Best regards,
Jerry K.

Wanted you to know that the wine arrived in my office today! I am way past impressed at how quickly the shipment got here. The next time I get to Australia, I won't hesitate to ship more wine back to the States.
