The 2025 Gentle Folk Father's Milk Pinot Noir is an elegant Adelaide Hills red showing red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry alongside violet, forest herbs and subtle earthy spice. Its cool-climate character gives the wine bright natural acidity and aromatic lift, while delicate mineral and savoury notes add depth to the fresh red-fruit profile.
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, adding complexity without overpowering the delicate fruit. A fine mineral character provides tension and length, while the supple tannins give the wine a graceful structure. The finish is dry, fresh and persistent, with lingering red fruit and savoury spice.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Pinot Noir drinkers who enjoy elegant cool-climate Australian reds with freshness, fine texture and aromatic detail. It is approachable in its youth but has enough structure to develop further savoury and earthy complexity with bottle age. Best enjoyed over the next 4–7 years. Pair with roast duck and cherry jus, pork tenderloin with fennel and apple, herb-crusted lamb, wild mushroom and thyme risotto, or grilled trout with beetroot and fresh herbs.
