A vineyard we have been working with for some time but the first single vineyard release from it - 2.5 ha in Basket Range, across the valley from our home, its very steep. beautiful and surrounded by native forest. Similar in profile to Ashton, the Basket Range vineyard has some beautiful red clay soil and a northerly aspect resulting in a wine with boldness and texture and some beautiful stone fruit characters and retaining that great line of acid we get in the Hills.

What The Critics Say
"This chardonnay is drastically good. It’s mellifluous. It has texture, flavour, intensity and length but it’s the wine’s softness and character that really seduces. It tastes of lemon, white peach, pears and custard powder, with honeysuckle notes floating over the top. It’s gorgeous. If you met it in a bar you wouldn’t be able to stop yourself from asking it for its phone number or instagram handle or LinkedIn account or anything to keep it as part of your life. 95+ points."

ABOUT THIS BRAND
Gentle Folk
The Real Review's Rising Star of the Year Australia 2025
Gareth and Rainbo Belton have grown the reputation of Gentle Folk to the point where their wines are now among the most in-demand in all of Australian wine. This is a case of gentle folk making gentle wines, but there’s more to it than that: both Gareth and Rainbo are also marine scientists, their (PhD) specialty being marine plants (seaweeds), and there’s a sense to everything that they do that the natural order and way of things is their chief informant. The Adelaide Hills region has been crucial – indeed, the driver – of the Australian 'progressive wine' movement, and Gentle Folk has been a quiet but inspiring ingredient thereof.
The wines ooze a natural charm that only inspired farming practices and sensitive winemaking can deliver. Gentle Folk are truly unique Australian wines that express their origins and the ethos of their dedicated thoughtful maker. And yes, they sell out fast!
