Tasting Notes

Secure your limited-edition timber cellar case today which includes a museum-quality panorama of the Burkes Hill vineyard by renowned Barossa photographer Dragan Radocaj. Each case is individually numbered and signed by Rob Gibson and Dragan Radocaj, making this the ideal gift for collectors.

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. 

Critic Scores

The inaugural release of a single-vineyard shiraz from the Burke's Hill vineyard comes from the very strong '21 Eden Valley vintage, and it's a beauty. Plush satsuma plum and forest berry fruits, exotic spice, roasting meats, sage, bay leaf, cedar and gingersnaps. Composed and calm, with a traditional structure, powdery, granitic tannins and a bright line before a touch of pastille on the exit.

Dark, inky and opaque in the glass. Complex aromas of blackberry, mulberry, satsuma plum, Asian spice, clove and cola. The palate is fleshy, brooding and full of dark fruited goodness. Plum, pudding spice, ferrous earth and bramble. The textured and layered tannins and punchy acidity bring it all home nicely 29 MAY 2024

A supple swirl of dark plum, dark cherries, rye bread and cocoa powder. Some dry herbs and turned earth lurking underneath. It's refined and assured in the mouth, medium bodied and layered, supported by deftly handled oak, and shaped by finely knit tannins. It proves you can make a statement without shouting.

Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Gibson was founded in 1996 by Rob Gibson, whose background in winemaking, viticulture, and geology informs the estate's soil-focused philosophy. Burkes Hill represents one of Gibson's key vineyard sites within Barossa Valley, a region celebrated for complex Shiraz expression. The 2021 vintage reflected Barossa Valley's warmer climate and distinctive terroir, where deep red soils and established grapevines produce wines of considerable concentration and structure. Gibson's approach emphasises understanding soil composition and site-specific characteristics, viewing terroir as the foundation of quality winemaking. The growing season allowed full phenolic development across the Shiraz fruit.

Vinification

Burkes Hill fruit was harvested at optimal ripeness and underwent traditional open-fermentation in selected vessels, a method that allows natural wild yeast activity and extended skin contact to develop colour, tannin, and flavour complexity. The resulting wine was aged in French oak, a practice allowing gradual integration of oak influence whilst building secondary flavours. Maceration extended through fermentation to extract tannin structure suited to the wine's cellaring potential. The finished wine reflects Barossa Valley's traditional approach to Shiraz production.

About this Wine

South Australia

If you like Australian wine, then you probably like South Australia wine. The rich reds produced there put Australia on the wine-making map of the world. With over 40% of the countries vineyards, South Australia can rightfully call itself the wine state.

Wines are produced in several regions throughout the state, though many are naturally grouped together, like Barossa and Eden Valleys, only 15 minutes apart. They include such regions as Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Eden Valley, Coonawarra, Adelaide Hills, Kangaroo Island, Langhorne Creek, The Limestone Coast, McLaren Vale and Wrattonbully to name but a few!

Barossa Valley boasts some of the oldest vines in Australia dating back to 1843 and produces some of the world's finest Shiraz, whilst the 'terra rossa' soils of Coonawarra is most suited to producing outstanding Cabernet Sauvignons. If you're a fan of Riesling, Clare Valley is a great place to explore and for a Maritime climate not dissimilar to parts of the Italian coastline, seek out the wines from McLaren Vale.
