Is it wine time yet? With this Sangiovese, the answer is always yes

Gentle Folk’s Sangiovese comes from organically farmed vineyards in Charleston and Forreston, where vines between 16 and 27 years old grow at elevations of 300 to 460 metres. Sandy loam over siltstone and sandstone brings character and freshness to the fruit.

The grapes were hand-harvested and completely destemmed, then fermented in open-top vessels for three weeks. The tank was closed and the wine remained on skins for another three weeks before pressing into hogsheads, terracotta and foudre for eight months.

Deep ruby in colour, the palate brings ripe cherry, cassis and warming dark chocolate wrapped in generous texture. Quaffable and easy-going, but with more than enough character to keep things interesting, it is a red to enjoy whenever the mood strikes.

Why we love it

Juicy, warming and wonderfully drinkable, with cherry, cassis and dark chocolate making a strong case for opening it right now.

About the Wine

100% destemmed open topped fermentation for three weeks before closing the tank and leaving on skins for an extra three weeks. Pressed to a combination of hogsheads, terracotta and foudre for 8 months.

About the Winemaker
Gentle Folk is the winery of Gareth and Rainbo Belton, both marine scientists, who found themselves drawn to the Adelaide Hills to start making wine. With the help of viticulturist Dr Dylan Grigg they began acquiring small plots of vine and growing their own grapes - a necessary step, in Gareth’s mind, to establishing a true connection with the land.

Since their first three-barrel ferment in 2013, Gentle Folk has made an impact on the Adelaide Hills wine scene, bridging the natural and traditional wine aesthetics in an honest (and delicious) way. The wines range from easy drinking to single-site chardonnays and pinot noirs of classical proportions.
