Gareth and Rainbo Belton of Gentle Folk craft soulful, organically farmed wines from their estate vineyards in the Adelaide Hills, where they’re celebrated for their light-touch, expressive Pinot Noir. This bottling draws from sites across the Basket Range and Uraidla, including Little Creek, Scary Gully and St James, at elevations between 500–620m on schist- and quartz-laced loam soils. Fermented naturally with around 20% whole bunch and aged for eight months in mostly old French oak (15% new), it’s a careful balance of precision and texture. The 2024 vintage is earthy and brambly with layers of boysenberry, red cherry, spice and subtle stemmy complexity, wrapped in fine tannins and bright acidity. A thoughtful and quietly charismatic Hills Pinot—made to share, drink, and love.
