The 2025 Gentle Folk Sangiovese is a vibrant Adelaide Hills red sourced from vineyards in Charleston and Forreston, with vines aged between 16 and 27 years. Grown at elevations of 300–460 metres on sandy loam over siltstone and sandstone, it shows bright red cherry and berry fruit alongside floral notes, dried herbs and savoury spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with lively acidity, fine tannins and a fresh, savoury profile. The fruit was 100% destemmed and fermented in open-top vessels before extended skin contact, then matured for eight months in a combination of hogsheads, terracotta and foudre, preserving fruit purity while adding texture and complexity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Sangiovese drinkers who enjoy bright, energetic reds with fresh acidity, fine tannins and savoury character. Ideal with tomato-based pasta, pizza, grilled pork, roast lamb, mushroom dishes or aged cheeses.
