Gibson’s first single vineyard Barossa Shiraz, our Burkes Hill Single Site release epitomises the elegance and understated power of Eden Valley Shiraz. Characterised by a dense core of blackcurrant fruit, with notes of spicy clove, black pepper, and a mineral-like acidity. The wine has a pure fruit expression and finishes with superb length and fine, detailed tannins.

Burkes Hill vineyard in the Eden Valley has an almost spiritual sense of place. A Lutheran cross presides over the vines – symbolic of the faith held by many of the Barossa’s early European immigrants. An East-facing slope, Burkes Hill sits at approximately 430m above sea level. The vineyard has a long history of reliable origin for extraordinary quality wines, with the original Shiraz plantings being made in 1965.

A largely dry-grown site, the soil profiles, aspect, and topography of Burkes Hill offers sub-block diversity – a microcosm of our broadly employed Shiraz philosophy of multi-site blending. Following harvest, the fruit was fermented in one and two tonne open fermenters, hand plunged and basket pressed into new and seasoned French oak hogsheads.
