The 2025 Gentle Folk Piccadilly Pinot Noir is an elegant Adelaide Hills red showing red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry alongside violet, forest herbs and subtle earthy spice. The cool-climate Piccadilly character gives the wine bright acidity and aromatic lift, while delicate mineral and savoury notes add depth to its fresh red-fruit profile. Fine tannins and a restrained structure help keep the wine poised and detailed.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied and finely textured, with vibrant acidity, silky tannins and layers of cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry. Subtle floral, herbal and earthy notes develop through the mid-palate, complemented by a fine mineral character that adds tension and length. The texture is supple and graceful, with enough structure to support further bottle development without overpowering the delicate fruit. The finish is dry, fresh and persistent, leaving lingering red berry, spice and savoury mineral notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Pinot Noir drinkers who enjoy refined cool-climate Australian reds with freshness, aromatic detail and fine texture. It is approachable in its youth but has enough acidity and tannin to develop greater savoury and earthy complexity over time. Best enjoyed over the next 5–8 years. Pair with roast duck and cherry jus, quail with thyme and mushrooms, pork tenderloin with fennel and apple, wild mushroom and thyme risotto, or grilled trout with beetroot and fresh herbs.
