Description

Gareth Belton is one of the Adelaide Hills' most exciting winemakers, and while he's making a name for himself for his single vineyard Pinot and Chardonnay offerings, this 'Vin de Sofa' light red has always been one of his most popular drops.

The Vin de Sofa is a pun on the French wine term Vin de Soif -"Soif means thirsty, sofa means chill".  It's made from mainly Sangiovese, with supporting roles played by Pinot Noir, Gamay, Syrah, Merlot, Grenache & Mataro.

A wine of refreshment to drink anytime (sofa not necessary).  No additives, no fining - this is un-doctored and just great to drink.  Loves a light chill too!

    This wine + 30 minutes in the fridge = a damn good way to spend a lazy arvo. Top stuff, very enjoyable.

The light red delicious lip smacking spicy vibrant little number is back and ready to go and its a cracker. Mainly Sangiovese (80%) with Syrah and Merlot making it a great Tuscan mountain blend.

The perfect lunch wine or wine for a night on the couch with your favourite people, enjoy.

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.
