2023 Gentle Folk Piccadilly Chardonnay
Gentle Folk
Adelaide Hills, South Australia
Planted in 1983, this old vine chardonnay is grown in the heart of Piccadilly, where the wines are renowned for their power and flair. No doubt about it with this wine, it’s all lemon citrus, melon, ripe fruit and impressive acid… a complete package and the reason this part of the Hills is often referred to as the ‘Grand Cru’ section.
Soil: Light loamy clay over sandstone with extensive schist and quartz rocks and rubble.
Vinification: Whole bunches were crushed and pressed into to tank for settling overnight before racking off solids to barrel. The wine spent eleven months in French oak, 30% new, before racking to tank for three months then bottled.
