Gemtree Ernest Allan Shiraz 2018 Organic (JH 95)

Gold Medal-Global Organic Masters Competition.
95/100 Halliday's Australian Wine Companion, James Halliday (Aug 2020).

This Shiraz has a complex aromatic profile with intense richness of liquorice, blackberry, cinnamon, cherry liqueur and creamy oak nuances.

The 2018 Ernest Allan is a wine of class, showcasing a dense and focused palate. Sweet, blackcurrant fruit flavours are tightly wound, giving our fifth release of this wine an elegant and integrated finish.

Cellar now — 2033.


20-120yo vines, sophisticated sorting of bunches and/or berries, open-fermented, matured in French barriques (45% new) for 18 months.



Ernest Allan Rivers was a natural farmer, and grandfather to Melissa Brown, current owner of the estate with her husband Mike. The wine was made to commemorate his immense character. It is easily approachable in its youth yet will reward further cellaring. An intense and complex shiraz.
