Our Review
Gemtree Wines was established in ’98 by wife-and-husband team Melissa and Mike Brown, who sold to the The Randall Wine Group in October '23. Mike and Melissa will remain in their roles as winemaker and viticulturist, and the group plans to expand the label, drawing on organic-certified growers in McLaren Vale. The current Gemtree vineyards have been certified organic since ’11 and are farmed biodynamically, too. Wines are vegan and made with minimal intervention and the cellar door is solar powered. -HALLIDAY TEAM

Information
Perched atop a ridge affording stunning views sits the Tasting Room of organic and biodynamic winery Gemtree. Here you can immerse yourself in a personalised, guided Tasting Experience and perhaps a tour of the Biodynamic Hut, experiencing first-hand biodynamic farming. After your tasting, you can grab a local produce picnic pack and a bottle of wine and take a stroll through the Gemtree Eco Trail, where you can explore the restored native landscape and relax in the wide-open spaces. Bookings are essential and can be made on the website.
