Gentle Folk Wines Vin De Sofa 2023
The Wine
Notes: Minsulphur
If there's anything the joy of spring unleashes upon us, it's the ability to start chilling down our reds again. The Vin de Sofa is one such wine - mainly Gamay but also has Pinot Noir, Merlot, Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Sangiovese. Bursting with all the red fruits you'd expect from that combination of grapes, but with a crunchy bone dry finish. The wine underwent full malolactic fermentation but is unfined and unfiltered – to capture all that texture and vibrancy in every delicious drop.

About the Wine Maker
Gentle Folk was started by Gareth & Rainbo Belton in 2013 vintage, with three barrels of wine made from Basket Range. Since then, a move to the Adelaide Hills initiated a steep educational curve to get to grips with biodynamic and organic farming and making wines in a dilapidated shed with no running water or electricity. With four sites now, they make an eclectic range of natural wines that buck convention, while also now drilling down on variety and site. Also, finalists in 2014 at Young Gun of Wine Awards
