They both studied the biodiversity of different seaweed groups and how they are related. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Gentle Folk journey began in 2012 after Gareth and Rainbo met a couple of hairy wine makers in the Adelaide Hills. It started with three barrels and has grown each year to its current size. Now managing a number of vineyards, this pair are restoring and farming organically and biodynamically. Hand harvesting, minimal intervention and low yields. They farm a number of small parcels in Basket Range, Forest Range, Norton Summit, Summertown and Ashton and make intuitive winemaking decisions as they go along.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"gentle-folk-2024-sangiovese","title":"Gentle Folk - 2024 Sangiovese","description":"\u003cp\u003e100% destemmed open topped fermentation for three weeks before closing the tank and leaving on skins for an extra three weeks.
