A rare collaboration between two of the Adelaide Hills’ most intuitive voices — Ochota Barrels and Gentle Folk — this Pinot Noir reflects a shared philosophy rather than a formula. Both producers are known for a gentle, low-intervention approach that prioritises site expression, transparency, and energy over extraction or power.

Sourced from the cool reaches of Adelaide Hills, the 2024 vintage brings together a seamless meeting of minds, where fruit is treated with restraint and intent, and the final wine feels like a conversation rather than a composition.

The nose is lifted and quietly detailed, with wild strawberry, red cherry, and cranberry layered over rose petal, subtle spice, and a faint earthy perfume. There is an immediate sense of purity and balance — nothing overstated, everything in place.

On the palate, it is finely structured yet weightless, with bright red fruit carried by a line of cool acidity. The tannins are ultra-fine and silken, providing shape without interruption. The wine moves with clarity and ease, defined more by flow than force.

The finish is long, savoury, and gently persistent, leaving behind red fruit, soft spice, and a whisper of mineral tension. A Pinot Noir that reflects the meeting point of two like-minded producers, unified by restraint, detail, and a deep respect for site.
