There... we said it... As good as lunch wine gets we reckon, and who doesn't love a wine at lunch!\"\u003cbr\u003e- Gareth Belton (Winemaker)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the Adelaide Hills is perhaps more famous for Shiraz or Chardonnay, winemaker Gareth Belton has a serious obsession with this Italian variety, declaring Sangiovese his absolute favourite grape to work with. The 2025 release shows exactly why - it is a serious step up from the \"smashable\" style often seen in the rest of the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from vines in Charleston and Forreston (aged between 16 and 27 years), this is a wine built on patience. Gareth fully destems the fruit and leaves it on skins for a total of six weeks (three weeks fermenting, three weeks post-ferment maceration). This long soak allows the tannins to soften into a wonderful \"chewy\" framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaturation takes place in a mix of hogsheads, terracotta and foudre for eight months. The result is sublime. It is full of blue fruit and spice, elegant yet structured, and the ultimate partner for a long lunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe data-dashlane-frameid=\"4378\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nQklYg7CcCo?si=dPwkptu8m2whWOa_\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gentle Folk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56142112948596,"sku":"lfs1789958469388","price":20.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5613\/8100\/files\/2025-gentle-folk-sangiovese_1.png?v=1789958472","url":"https:\/\/petcameramon.shop\/products\/2025-gentle-folk-sangiovese","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
