Gentle Folk

Before they made wine, Gareth and Rainbo Belton studied seaweed. Both earned PhDs in phycology, the science of marine plants, before turning their fascination with biodiversity toward the soils of the Adelaide Hills. Gentle Folk is the result, a small family winery on Peramangk Country in Basket Range that has become one of Australia's most quietly admired natural wine producers.

Gareth Belton began Gentle Folk with the 2013 vintage, making just three barrels of wine from a Basket Range vineyard. He had been drawn into wine by the Adelaide Hills natural wine community and was inspired by pioneers such as Anton van Klopper, James Erskine and Tom Shobbrook. The project has since grown to between six and seven thousand cases a year, still run as a family operation with a handful of staff.
