Riesling
Gentle Folk Village Riesling 2023
The Gentle Folk Riesling 2023 embodies a passionate love for riesling, plain and simple. Crafted with a penchant for off-dry varieties, this offering represents their signature house style with impeccable flair. It's described simply as "bloody delicious." Sourced from the esteemed Scary Gully vineyard, boasting 18-year-old vines of the GM198 clone, this Riesling captures the essence of its elevated terroir at 620 meters with a south-east aspect. The soils, characterized by light loamy clay over sandstone with schist and quartz rubble, impart a unique mineral complexity. Vinified with care, the grapes undergo 100% whole cluster pressing, settling overnight in tank before being transferred to terracotta eggs for a maturation period of nine months. The result is a wine that speaks volumes of its origin, expressing purity, finesse, and a lingering allure that beckons with every sip.
