The 2026 Gentle Folk Vin de Sofa is a fresh, light-bodied red from the Adelaide Hills, continuing Gentle Folk’s playful approach to bright and highly approachable red blends. Typically built around Sangiovese with other complementary red varieties, the style shows juicy red cherry, raspberry and plum alongside floral notes, dried herbs and gentle savoury spice.
On the palate, it is light and energetic with vibrant acidity, soft tannins and a juicy red-fruit core. Vin de Sofa is made to emphasise freshness and fruit rather than heavy extraction, resulting in a supple, savoury style that can be served slightly below cellar temperature. The exact blend and production details for the 2026 vintage have not yet been reliably published.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers looking for a lighter Adelaide Hills red with bright fruit, gentle tannins and savoury character. Best enjoyed young and lightly chilled. Ideal with pizza, charcuterie, grilled chicken, pork, tomato-based pasta or antipasto.
