Gentle Folk Basket Range Chardonnay

Gentle Folk Basket Range Chardonnay comes from a beautiful vineyard surrounded by native forest in the Adelaide Hills. Grown on light loamy clay over sandstone with schist and quartz fragments, this site’s northerly aspect gives the wine both texture and boldness. Whole bunches were pressed and settled overnight before racking to French and Austrian oak (20% new) for 11 months, followed by a short time in tank prior to bottling. Full malolactic fermentation adds roundness to its bright stone fruit core, while a fine line of acidity keeps the palate fresh and balanced.
