Tasting Notes

Gibson 'The Dirtman' Barossa Shiraz reflects the mastery of Rob Gibson, a former Penfolds viticulturalist known as "The Dirtman" for his expertise in terroir. Since founding Gibson Wines in 1997, he has crafted exceptional wines that celebrate the Barossa's unique soils and climate. This Shiraz, sourced from select vineyards, delivers rich fruit, subtle spice, and velvety tannins, embodying the region's character. With a 5-star rating in The Halliday Wine Companion and a history of critical acclaim, 'The Dirtman' stands as a testament to Gibson's award-winning craftsmanship.

Deep purple red. On the nose lifted plum, vanilla and spice characters with underlying complex notes of boot leather and barrel. The palate has good body with rich black fruits, savoury herb, pepper and spicy oak notes. It is well balanced with natural acidity and barrel flavours. The finish is warm and dry, leaving spicy, cherry pip flavours lingering. It shows all the hallmarks of world class Shiraz treated with good oak maturation to produce a great wine with good ageing potential.

Critic Scores

A beautifully presented Barossa Shiraz that combines a bright acidity with substantial fruit richness to create a harmonious and plush expression of the region. A generous flavoursome wine displaying dark plum and spices with a distinct minerality adding further lift and poise. A subtle dusty earthiness completes the picture. - Ray Jordan

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.
