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
