Gemtree
Gemtree Vineyards is owned and run by third generation grapegrowers, the Buttery Family.
The family is dedicated to producing iconic wines of the highest quality from their McLaren Vale vineyards which since 2008 have been farmed 100% biodynamically.
They are also passionate about sound environmental practices, sustainable agriculture and innovation, both in the vineyards and in the winery, where winemaker Mike Brown pushes the boundaries of experimentation with biodynamic wines and alternative winemaking practices.
Gemtree has joined forces with Dowie Doole to present their wines in a tasting room and garden at the renowned regional McLaren Vale restaurant, the Salopian Inn. The historic venue was built in 1851 and features modern architectural design by Drew Dowie, one of the co-owners of Dowie Doole.
Gemtree and Dowie Doole’s exclusive wine club, 1851 has been made in honour of the heritage associated with the Salopian Inn.
Friendly and knowledgeable local hosts are available to advise, discuss, and inform you about our wines, wineries, food, and the glorious McLaren Vale region.
