{"product_id":"2025-gembrook-hill-j-k-m-pinot-noir","title":"2025 Gembrook Hill J.K.M. Pinot Noir","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe J.K.M. Pinot is Gembrook Hill’s \"winemaker’s wine\" - a more expressive, detailed sibling to the estate flagship. While the IJM Pinot was created as a vinous memorial to Andrew’s father, Ian, the J.K.M. is dedicated to his mother, June, and it's designed to capture a bit more of her natural exuberance. If the IJM is a \"vigneron’s wine\" (all about pure site), this is where Andrew Marks gets to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 release is the boldest version of this wine yet. It’s built entirely from 100% whole-bunch fermented MV6 fruit - a relatively new planting for the estate that brings a depth and tannin profile they haven’t seen in the older vines. In a warm, generous year like 2025, that whole-bunch intensity has translated into an unapologetically aromatic Pinot. It’s all about crunchy red forest berries, blood orange, and a punchy, savoury undergrowth character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause 2025 was such a generous season, this J.K.M. has a serious amount of power and \"grab\" on the palate. It’s an energetic, high-intensity wine that feels more modern than the traditional Gembrook style, but it still carries that essential cool-climate snap. Only two barrels were made - 50% of which was new French oak - making this an incredibly rare must-buy for any Pinot devotee who wants to see just how much \"swagger\" this site can produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is one of a compelling set of pinots from Gembrook Hill in '25; it will be fascinating to watch them evolve over the next decade.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e95 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Oak shows itself here but as a whole this wine is dramatically seductive...
