About the Wine
2024 Single Vineyard release. Gentle Folk: One of the great and distinctive vineyards of the Adelaide Hills, and certainly one of the coolest. Monomeith sits in its own very cool valley on the top ridge of Ashton and the vines benefit from an east-west orientation, where part of the vineyard gets the morning sun and the other half the afternoon sun. This results in a wine with great depth, complexity and all the classic aromatics of great Adelaide Hills Pinot noir.
Winemaking
Fruit was hand harvested with 20% remaining as whole-bunch. Open top fermentation with twice daily pumpovers for two to three weeks followed by pressing and then 10 months in French oak, 20% new, before racking to tank or three months and bottled unfined and unfiltered.
About Gentle Folk
Gentle Folk Wines was founded by marine scientists-turned-winemakers Gareth and Rainbo Belton in 2013, starting with just three barrels from a vineyard in the Basket Range. Today they farm five sites totally 9 hectares; planted to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, Sangiovese and Sauvignon Blanc.
Driven by a deep respect for nature and a hands-on approach to viticulture, they produce small-batch, minimal-intervention wines that reflect the character and diversity of their cool-climate region. With a focus on organic farming and gentle winemaking techniques, Gentle Folk has earned a loyal following for its vibrant, expressive wines—from elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to more playful, experimental blends. Each bottle tells a story of place, passion, and a thoughtful connection to the land.
