It is the ultimate crowd pleaser, and has an ease to its stead. Lots of pretty white fleshy stone fruit, makrut lime, with a hint of flint sitting atop – seasoning, if you will. It's a simple wine and, importantly, a consistent wine, but it packs a punch and plays its part at the table extremely well.\u003c\/span\u003e\"\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e94 Points - Katrina Butler, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE WINE: \u003c\/strong\u003eFruit is sourced from the Charleston, Piccadilly, Basket Ranges and Lenswood vineyards.\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e100% whole cluster pressed and settled in tank overnight.

In our PhD studies (at different universities), we studied the biodiversity of different seaweed groups and how they are related. It was super fun and the discovery and naming of new species a big highlight, as well as the top notch collaborators we each worked with. A love of wine, food and growing things eventually drew us away from academic life. The Gentle Folk story began in 2012 after spending a lot of our free time in Basket Range helping and hanging out with James Erskine (Jauma), Alex Schulkin (The Other Right) and other early pioneers of the Basket Range wine movement. Our winemaking journey started with just three barrels of wine in 2013 from the Broderick's Basket Range Vineyard, and a dream. Over the years we have been lucky enough to travel parts of the world learning about winemaking and growing, have acquired a lot more vineyard area as well as built relationships with some amazing growers in the Adelaide Hills. We currently produce between six and seven thousand cases annually, employ five lovely humans and farm eight hectares of vines. A kid (Leonard) appeared somewhere in the middle! We hope you have an opportunity to try and enjoy our wines no matter where on earth you find yourself.\" \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGareth \u0026amp; Rainbo Belton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adelaide Hills, South Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e White Wine \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER: \u003c\/strong\u003eGareth \u0026amp; Rainbo Belton \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimal Intervention,  Unfined \u0026amp; Unfiltered, Minimal Sulphites, Organic Farming, Vegan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Perth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46944751747221,"sku":"5698","price":52.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/Gentle-Folk-Chardonnay-2024-Heritage-Wine-Store-Perth-CBD-Bottleshop.jpg?v=1772010448","url":"https:\/\/theheritageperth.com.au\/products\/gentle-folk-chardonnay-2024","provider":"The Heritage Perth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
