Nose - Uncut Shiraz is generous, layered, bright and textural. The aromas are intense and complex of blueberry, mulberry and spiced vanilla oak.
Palate - Uncut is a rich and pure shiraz, the lively fruit flavours are polished and cocooned by natural oak flavours and balanced acidity, all hallmarks of Gemtree house Shiraz.
Food Palette - Love drinking this wine with a rich truffle and parmesan risotto topped with pan grilled wild mushrooms.
Uncut is the first wine Gemtree made, a distinctive McLaren Vale Shiraz that today reflects the subtle changes they have made in both the vineyard and the winery over the past 23 years.
From biodynamically grown vines aged 20 to 60 years, they select the sites that consistently display the highest quality, purity and finesse. Fermentation occurs naturally in 5-8 tonne open fermenters and they press off skins once fermentation is complete.
Ageing occurs in 100% French oak barrels ranging in size from puncheons (500L) to barriques (225L) for 16 months. As with all Gemtree reds, minimal racking occurs during this time. The wine is aged on its lees, building mouthfeel and texture.
Each vintage of Uncut encapsulates Gemtree’s core philosophy of biodynamic winemaking, resulting in wines that truly express our vineyard site and provenance.
