GEMTREE Uncut Shiraz, McLaren Vale 2012 Bottle
1 * Bottle
About this wine
Uncut Shiraz is a staple of the Gemtree portfolio, noted for vibrancy, concentration – and value. It is produced 100% from McLaren Vale Shiraz vineyards with vines ranging in age from 20-50 years; the wine’s exact make-up varies each year depending on vintage conditions. Uncut Shiraz saturates the palate with blackberry and dark cherry fruit, leaving typical McLaren Vale dark chocolate notes across the finish. Tannins are fine, ripe and velvety. Before bottling, the wine matures for 18 months in seasoned French barrels of varying size, making spicy oak a background factor and allowing juicy Shiraz fruit to take centre-stage. Drink on release or cellar for up to 10 years.

ABOUT THE WINERY
Gemtree
Paul and Jill Buttery established the Gemtree vineyards in McLaren Vale in 1980. Son Andrew runs the business and viticulturist daughter Melissa has introduced biodynamic methods and taken Gemtree to full organic certification. Melissa’s husband, Mike Brown, is Chief Winemaker. Gemtree wines are of consistently high quality and interest. Chinese investment has enabled increased production and strengthened exports – Gemtree’s organic certification is also officially recognised in China. The Buttery and Brown families see themselves as custodians of the land they utilise – their aim is to leave it in better condition than when they started. They say: ‘We want our legacy to live on for our children’.
