The Wine:
From the Turnbull vineyard in Charleston, planted in 1998 to the H6V9 clone. 460m above sea level with a soil consisting of sandy loam over siltstone and sandstone.
100% destemmed open top fermentation for two weeks before closing the lid and sealing for two more months. Basket pressed to a 1000L terracotta amphora and a new 228L French oak barrel for 10 months before bottling.
A new wine in the portfolio for 2023. Meticulously farmed twenty-six year old vines from the boniest and highest section of the Turnbull Vineyard in Charleston have allowed Gentle Folk to realise their dream of making site specific Sangiovese. It’s still young and primary but with the natural acidity and the fine boned tannins we are sure that this wine, as well as this story, have only just started their journeys.
