Planted in 1996 at 525 metres, the south-east-facing vines grow in light loamy clay over sandstone, with extensive schist and quartz rubble beneath. It is a remarkable part of the Adelaide Hills, often regarded as the region’s Grand Cru territory for Chardonnay.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhole bunches were crushed and pressed to tank, settled overnight and racked off solids to barrel for wild fermentation and 100% malolactic fermentation. The wine spent 11 months in French oak, including 25% new barrels, followed by a further three months in tank before bottling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCitrus, melon and ripe fruit bring generosity and depth, while impressive acidity gives the palate energy, shape and length. A subtle touch of new oak adds polish without overwhelming the fruit. Powerful yet composed, this is a complete and beautifully balanced expression of Piccadilly Chardonnay.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy we love it\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA confident single-vineyard Chardonnay with ripe fruit, bright citrus and impressive acidity, framed by finely judged French oak.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Gentle Folk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67288704516345,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2650\/0856\/files\/New_Image_format_shadow_b2d2e2f4-21d3-4b29-a010-f12b54fbaaa5.png?v=1791184140","url":"https:\/\/actofwine.com.au\/products\/2025-gentle-folk-piccadilly-chardonnay","provider":"Act of Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
