When a table wine does make the cut, it is invariably excellent and disappears almost immediately. In 2025, he made both!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 vintage is a classic Gembrook release - think a riper, more generous take on Chablis, to use a frame of reference that Andrew uses. The fruit was whole-bunch pressed and wild-fermented with solids in large, old French oak to build texture while keeping the wood firmly in the background. It’s a lithe, energetic wine that balances green apple, citrus, and a hint of mineral crunch against a softer white-stonefruit roundness.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything about this release feels poised and effortless. It has a clean, direct line of acidity that drives the finish, making it clear why these bottles are in such high demand. Allocations are extremely tight, so this is one to grab while you can. It's going to unwind very well in the cellar if you can wait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The first Gembrook Hill Chardonnay since '23 and well worth the wait...
