Gentle Folk Pinot Noir Adelaide Hills 2025
Alright, let’s imagine we’re sitting down with a glass of this together.
The moment you bring it up, you get this bright, lifted aroma, fresh red cherries, raspberries, and just a whisper of herbs and that little forest floor earthiness that makes you smile. It’s the kind of Pinot that feels alive in the glass.
On the palate it’s light, elegant, and really easy to drink. The fruit is juicy, fresh, and bright, but there’s this subtle savoury layer underneath that gives it depth without being heavy. The tannins are soft and silky, and the acidity keeps it moving, every sip just bounces along and makes you want the next.
What I love is how honest it feels. It’s not trying to be flashy. You can taste the cool Adelaide Hills, the care in the vineyard, and the gentle touch in the winery. Gareth and Rainbo Belton make wines that really let the fruit speak, and this Pinot is a perfect example, thoughtful, balanced, and just really enjoyable.
It’s the kind of wine you sip slowly, smile, and keep talking while it gently carries you along. Very fresh, a little earthy, and full of charm.
