About

Pinot Noir from high-elevation Adelaide Hills vineyards across Monomeith, Uraidla, Piccadilly, Summertown, Little Creek, Basket Range, Scary Gully and Charleston — loamy clay over sandstone strewn with schist and quartz, vines 5 to 37 years old. Hand-picked organic fruit, three weeks in open fermenters at 80% destemmed with a whole-cluster inclusion, then eight months in French oak (15% new) and bottled unfined and unfiltered with just a splash of SO2. Bright red cherries and raspberries with a whisper of herbs and forest-floor earthiness over a core of dark cherry and spice — light, elegant, juicy drinking with soft tannins.

Producer note

Gentle Folk was started in 2013 by marine scientists-turned-winemakers Gareth and Rainbo Belton, who farm five Basket Range-area sites totalling nine hectares for small-batch, minimal-intervention wines. Just 1,100 dozen made of the 2025.
