This is a confident, modern Hills Chardonnay that balances precision with generosity. The Gentle Folk Village Chardonnay 2024 opens with aromas of white peach, lemon curd and grapefruit zest, layered with subtle struck match, almond meal and gentle French oak. There is a cool climate clarity here, driven by natural acidity and fine phenolic grip.

On the palate, the Gentle Folk Village Chardonnay, 2024 shows impressive tension and depth. Stone fruit, citrus oil and cashew notes flow through a supple, chalky texture, finishing long and savoury.
