{"product_id":"2025-gentle-folk-scary-gully-chardonnay","title":"2025 Gentle Folk Scary Gully Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp\u003eScary Gully is Gentle Folk's highest and coolest vineyard, a steep, rocky ridge at 620 metres in Forest Range that's as hard to farm as the name suggests. It's also one of the great Chardonnay sites in the Adelaide Hills, and is arguably our favourite in the line up of Single Vineyards from Gareth Belton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vines went in back in 1984, all Entav 84 clone, facing south-west on shallow quartz rubble over siltstone, sandstone and clay. Gareth picked on 9 March, whole-bunch pressed to tank, settled the juice overnight and racked it to barrel. Twelve months in French oak (25% new) and a short rest in tank followed. Simple, hands-off winemaking that lets the site do the talking - which is very much the Gentle Folk way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the minuscule 2024 crop there's a bit more to go around this year, though at 2,717 bottles it's still a tiny release. Expect lime, white peach and a little fennel seed, with that stony, mineral line Scary Gully is known for running right through. It's driven and tight, with real restraint, and the oak sits in the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA distinctive, mineral Hills Chardonnay from old vines on a seriously special site. Grab it while you can.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gentle Folk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67964787687467,"sku":"2025 Gentle Folk Scary Gully Chardonnay","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2025GentleFolkScaryGullyChardonnay.png?v=1793154541","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2025-gentle-folk-scary-gully-chardonnay","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
