Loose End Wines - Authentic, Adventurous, Unpretentious

"Too often we are too busy, overscheduled and stressed. Being at a loose end is something we need to strive for more often - take life less seriously, slow down and appreciate the sights, sounds and aromas of what is around us."

Rob Gibson


Our Passion

The Taste of VintageLoose End Wines was established in 2003 and is a limited collection, hand crafted, premium wines... without premium price tags.  They appeal to wine drinkers who focus on quality, want wines made by real and passionate people, and who seek fresh, unique wine experiences.

Loose End is the brainchild of renowned Barossa viticultralist, winemaker and personality, Rob Gibson of BarossaVale.  Having spent much of his working life as a senior viticulturist for Penfolds. Rob has an intimate understanding of the many factors that can influence the creation of wine, and a passion for identifying special parcels of fruit from the Barossa and ranges to produce a range of wines that is contemporary and truly reflective of the region's character.

In contrast, the Loose End wines are all about contemporary style and easy drinking.  They are all great value wines that over deliver on quality, at an exceptionally accessible price.

  • Loose End Moments

    I recently met a couple of German girls Eva & Nina who are travelling around Australia seeing the sights, they shared with me a couple loose end moments during their travels, here are their tales:

    1. In February we met cole at the 12 apostles. we talked to him a couple of minutes and at the end we had an invitation to his place if we are in busselton/WA. long story short... after the nullabor dessert, a view days in margaret river we met cole in busselton and had a great time with him. we drove with his harley davidson, had a great seafood dinner, swam in the margaret river and so on. definetley a loose end moment. right time, right moment.

    2. ok, the 2nd one sounds not so amazing, but for us, it was awesome. in margaret river we met a lovely couple from germany. hendrik and lina. after a few great moments there, we split for a couple of days and then they invited us to there appartment in scarborough. we could sleep in beds with white linen (!!!!), take a shower and had an amazing evening an there balcony with oceanview. in the morning, hendrik woke us up with fresh coffee and chocolat croissant. thats luxury if you sleep in our cosy campervan and take showers at the beach or in public showers (or at a lovley winery...)

    We would love to hear of any "Loose End moments" that you may have, feel free to drop us a line.  Cheers Rob.

  • Barrels at a Loose End

    Light Pass road is the much travelled track between my home (Barossavale) and Looseend.

    It really is a turbulent roller coaster...which I will describe with some photos.....it is so uneven ....has the weirdest rail crossing I've seen ...has a deep drain culvert much like a slippery dip....another weird rail crossing.....and xroads over 80-100km/hr race tracks....and I travel it many times a week...with barrels full and empty, bins full or empty with grapes.....grape marc....and today ...bleary eyed from heavy manual work plunging caps over ferments and screwing down the hydraulic basket press...................I came unstuck ..........................losing a stack of barrels from my trailer which had been secure at Looseend but jolted "loose" by the time I reached Willows road....can you imagine the view of barrels bouncing and rolling down the road!!!..........talk about breaking out....getting loose!!
