Gentle Folk Basket Range Chardonnay 2024
DOZEN: $810.00 or $67.50 each
GOLD - Welcome to the premiere! This is the debut release of this wine for the Gentle Folk portfolio from the Somerset vineyard (arguably the most picturesque site in the region), deep in the Basket Range. This is such glorious chardonnay. There's an emphasis on stone fruit, peaches and loquats, with salted lime, crystalline acidity and toasted nuts, impactful drive and compelling mouthfeel. A producer not to be underestimated or overlooked. JAMES HALLIDAY'S WINE COMPANION
It tastes of popcorn, white peach, custard powder and citrus, among other things, but it's the satiny softness of it, and the exquisite cohesion, and the purity of the finish that really defines its quality. Toasty, creamy oak plays a role but the fruit, the polish and the finish of this wine are all of the highest class. CAMPBELL MATTINSON
Minerally and tightly wound, with aromas of grilled lemons, salted nuts, white orchard fruit and slate. The palate is mid-weighted and textural, with refined, focused acidity supported by a solid core of fruit. Poised and elegant, with a slight phenolic edge. JAMES SUCKLING
