Description
Little Creek sits in its own valley just over the hill from Monomeith - but it is its own beast. The vine density is double and the soil much more rocky that that of its neighbours. This usually shows through in the wine having more fruit density, with much darker and earthier characters. This is true again in 2024 where the near perfect growing season, although low yielding, has grown a wine that is true to Little Creek, yet with a great purity that seems to be common in the vintage

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!
