Tasting Note
The Australian Old Vine Collection Barossa Shiraz celebrates the Barossa’s magnificent old vine resources. The region is home to what is believed to be the world’s oldest Shiraz, Mataro and Grenache vines growing on their own roots. Some of these vines remarkably date back to the 1840s. This is in part due to South Australia having strong biosecurity measures which has prevented the movement of Phylloxera - a potentially devasting vine aphid, which killed off much of Europe’s grapevines in the 1800s. Colour: Dark plum, purple hue. Aroma: Lifted savoury spice, Shiraz characters showing bottle development on the nose with subtle notes of spice, rosemary and stewed plums. Palate: The palate is full, round and very complex and shows all the hall-marks of great Shiraz with fine oak maturation, developing to produce great vinosity. This wine shows ample aroma, fine structure charming balance of fruit, acidity and ample velvet tannins . The finish is classy, long and generous, leaving spicy dark chocolate flavours lingering on the palate.

Gibson Wines
Gibson Wines was established in 1996 and draws on over 45 years of experience of its founder; viticulturist, geologist and winemaker, Rob Gibson. Rob – with wife Anne and son Adam – uphold a ‘wine growing’ philosophy. A belief deeply rooted in an understanding of the relationship between vineyards, their cycle of growth and maximising flavour intensity in resultant wines. During his years studying at Roseworthy College, and later as head of the first viticultural department of Penfolds, Rob’s passion for wine growing and geology led him to be known as ‘The Dirtman’. The Dirtman moniker continues with Gibson, as does the pursuit for maximising flavour.
Rob Gibson & Anne Gibson
Rob ‘Gibbo’ Gibson is the namesake behind the brand you know and love. Chief wine guy, head of Gibbology and most importantly, The Dirtman. Gibbo loves nothing more than sharing his wine and enjoying the Barossan country lifestyle. Oh, and he loves the Melbourne Demons too, we can never forget that.
Anne is the backbone of Gibson’s, particularly around pay day or when an invoice comes in. She has an eye for detail so is often seen patrolling the grounds. She is always happy to support the team where needed. Anne looks after the finance side of the business and keeps Gibbo in line, which includes him in charge of the morning coffee run. She certainly has him well trained.
