Gemtree

McLaren Vale, SA

Gemtree Bio

The Gemtree Vineyards label was created in 1998. They are first generation winemakers drawing on the expertise from three generations of grape growing. In a genuine family operation, each member participates in the production and marketing of their wines. Jill and Paul’s son, Andrew, heads up Gemtree with marketing support from wife Helen. Daughter Melissa is the viticulturist, and her husband, Mike Brown is Gemtree’s dynamic winemaker.

The large vineyards with over 20 different soil types ensure that they can nurture and select the very best parcels of fruit to make the Gemtree range of wines. Ultimately, it is their passion to build a top quality wine brand that will be highly regarded for years to come.
