Description

Rainbow Juice is a wine that walks to the beat of its own drum.

This year's iteration is a blend of Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Sauvignon blanc and Sangiovese, all sourced from the Basket Range area in the Adelaide Hills.

All the varieties were fermented for a short time on skins and then direct pressed to oak to complete fermentation. No additions of any kind found their way into the bottle, this is pure Rainbow Juice and it's seriously tasty stuff.

It's a breezy wine, wild and untamed. It screams sunshine and good vibes. Gareth describes it as Adelaide Hills spring in a glass...

93 points - "A charming blend of pinot gris, sangiovese and pecorino makes for a floral, vibrant and energy-laden wine. Easy to get lost in the heady perfume here – fresh lychee, rosewater, strawberry syrup and juicy Red Delicious apple. The hue alone, with its watermelon watercolours, is reason enough to pour another glass – undemanding and delicious drinking." - Katrina Butler (Halliday Wine Companion)

    A wonderful light red. Served chilled it is a great bridge between rose and a light red.

    Juicy

    Love it, easy and summer ready. Hints of strawberries, acid is good. just great

Grab a bottle, pull out the picnic rugs and head to the beach.....

A bit of free run, a bit of skins, a bit of direct press and bingo....a super aromatic textural delight with zippy acidity ready to quench your summer thirst.

Varieties: Pinot gris, Sangiovese and Pecorino.

Gentle Folk

Gareth and Rainbo Belton are the Gentle Folks, both in name and in sensibility. They are gentle, soulful people, both originally seaweed experts, who turned their hands to farming grapes with an organic and sustainable approach. Today they are crafting some of the most legitimately exciting and exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the Adelaide Hills and are firmly rooted in the upper echelon of Australia's lo-fi wine scene.

Their wines cover multiple sub-regions across the Adelaide Hills. There are no additions during the winemaking process, save for a splash of SO2 at bottling to keep the wines pristine as they travel from the Beltons' home to yours. The worlds of fine wine and natural wine collide in the Gentle Folk range. They are beautiful people making increasingly breathtaking wines that you definitely want to check out.
