About
Gentle Folk is a small family winery founded by Gareth and Rainbo Belton from the 2013 vintage in Basket Range, Adelaide Hills, on Peramangk Country. The family farms eight hectares across five vineyard sites using organically principled practices, focusing on minimal intervention in the winery — whole-bunch ferments, open-top fermenters, and not much else. Gentle Folk has become one of the most respected natural wine producers in the Adelaide Hills, with a range that includes Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, and seasonal releases.
