点评:We visited Gibson Wines for their behind-the-scenes experience—something you’d normally expect to pay a fair bit for, given the chance to see the inner workings and spend time chatting with their winemaker, Adam. But no—it was completely free.
From the moment we arrived, you could feel the passion that goes into every bottle at this family-run winery. Sam welcomed us warmly before introducing us to Adam, who took us through the process. I’ll admit, I enjoy wine but I’m a bit of a novice when it comes to the technical side. After just 30 minutes with Adam, I walked away with a whole new appreciation—from how different growing regions of the Barossa influence the grapes, to the impact of various barrels used in ageing.
Thank you for taking the time to show us around during what must be one of the busiest times of year during vintage.
Kristy, who was absolutely lovely and full of energy, guided us through the tasting back in the cellar door—really bringing everything together by letting us compare wines aged in different barrels side by side.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a warmer, friendlier, or more genuine experience. Make sure you add this small, family-run winery to your Barossa list.
Bonus points for the free EV charger out the front and their strong focus on sustainability!
翻译:我们参观了吉布森酒庄,体验了他们的幕后之旅——通常来说,这种体验需要花费不少钱,毕竟有机会了解酒庄的内部运作,还能和酿酒师亚当聊天。但这次却完全免费。
从我们抵达的那一刻起,就能感受到这家家族酒庄对每一瓶葡萄酒倾注的热情。萨姆热情地接待了我们,并把我们介绍给了亚当,亚当带领我们了解了整个酿酒过程。我承认,我喜欢葡萄酒,但在技术方面却是个新手。仅仅和亚当聊了30分钟,我就对葡萄酒有了全新的认识——从巴罗萨谷不同产区对葡萄的影响,到不同橡木桶在陈酿过程中的作用。
感谢你们在一年中最繁忙的采收季抽出时间带我们参观。
克里斯蒂热情洋溢、活力四射,她带领我们回到酒窖品鉴,并让我们并排比较不同橡木桶陈酿的葡萄酒,真正做到了融会贯通。
总而言之,我们无法想象还有比这更热情、更友好、更真诚的体验。一定要把这家小型家族式酒庄列入你的巴罗萨谷酒庄清单。
酒庄门口的免费电动汽车充电桩以及他们对可持续发展的高度重视,都值得加分!
