The 'Villages' release of Pinot is sourced from Gentle Folk's high elevation vineyards spanning across the Adelaide Hills, including Monomeith, Uraidla, Piccadilly, Summertown, Little Creek, Basket Range, Scary Gully & Charleston. Most of the soil here is light loamy clay over sandstone with extensive schist & quartz rubble with the vines ranging from 5-37 years old.
The fruit is organically grown and gently hand harvested to preserve quality. Most of the cuvée was from a 3 week open-top fermentation of 80% destemmed, with a much smaller inclusion of 100% whole cluster. The wine was aged for 8 months in French barrique, 15% of which was new. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
