With the Southern Ocean coastline just minutes from Gemtree's vineyards, the maritime influence runs deep at this winery. Couple this with the certified organic vineyards that are tended by hand and you have a perfect recipe for a bold and full-bodied Shiraz; the Dragon's Blood McLaren Vale Shiraz. Choosing sites that offer the greatest varietal expression, concentration and finesse, the wine then saw maturation in French oak of sizes ranging from barriques (225L) to puncheons (500L) for 12 months. The result is a foreboding Shiraz that displays notes of blueberry, blackcurrant, aniseed and balancing earthen touch. Ideal served on its own to fully appreciate the rich and complex flavours but also at home when paired with French cutlets and slow cooked duck.

The nose is reminiscent ofa fresh ferment and the taste of grapesfresh from the vine with scents ofstrawberry, lychee and rose petal. Thiswine is a very natural and cloudy exampleof pure Grenache from McLaren Vale. Thepalate is lively and the strawberry fruitcarries through as fruity, zesty and crisp.

Produced from a mature low yielding vineyard in the heart of McLaren Vale, Gemtree Uncut Shiraz is a superb expression of the region. Generous dark fruits abounds on the palate with fine tannins and balanced acidity, which leads to a lengthy finish.

At Gemtree we farm our estate vineyards organically and biodynamically. This philosophy rewards us with fruit full of flavour and purity; these are the gems from which we craft our fine wines. The waning crescent moon is a time for relaxation. This Fiano is crisp, fresh, floral and textural. A perfect accompaniment.

At Gemtree we celebrate the bold and beautiful madness that leads to wonderful things. In Italy, piquette has various names including acqua pazza, meaning crazy water. Our Pazza piquette is made from Grenache skins, creating a spritzy burst of raspberry and cherry.
