The 2025 Gentle Folk Piccadilly Chardonnay is an elegant Adelaide Hills white showing lemon, white peach and nectarine alongside green apple, pear, white flowers and fine stony mineral notes. The cool-climate Piccadilly character brings bright acidity and aromatic lift, while subtle savoury and saline nuances add depth and complexity to the fresh fruit profile.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely textured, with vibrant acidity supporting layers of citrus, orchard fruit and delicate stone fruit. Lemon and green apple are complemented by white peach and pear, while subtle floral, nutty and savoury notes develop through the mid-palate. A fine mineral streak adds tension and length, giving the wine a precise and focused character. The texture is rounded but energetic, leading to a dry, clean and persistent finish with lingering citrus and stony notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Chardonnay drinkers who enjoy elegant cool-climate Australian whites with freshness, texture and mineral detail. It is approachable in its youth but has enough acidity and structure to develop additional savoury and nutty complexity with bottle age. Best enjoyed over the next 5–8 years. Serve lightly chilled with seared scallops, butter-poached marron, roast chicken with tarragon, grilled trout with lemon butter, or mushroom and leek risotto.
