Description

The Commune of Buttons Chardonnay is a beautifully pure expression of the Adelaide Hills, crafted with care by Jasper Button. Sourced from the biodynamically farmed ABC and Clover vineyards on the Button estate, this is the "drink-me-now" Chardonnay in the CoB range.

Hand-harvested and whole-bunch pressed, 18 months on lees, giving a Chardonnay that balances bright fruit with elegant texture. Aromas of pear, peach, and zesty citrus are framed by a chiselled minerality, with a saline, stony finish. Chardonnay really is becoming Jasper's calling card.

We love the wines from this producer. Highly recommended as one of the most exciting small-batch Chardonnays in the region this year.

"This is a wine with layers of complexity and texture. Apple (a touch oxidative), white peach, cardamom spice, honeysuckle and macadamia. What really astounds is the flinty, crushed quartz mineral line, threaded into the wider citric canvas, the two equating to a pleasing and long-lived finale. Let it be known, I really like these wines."

"From select parcels on the ABC and Clover vineyards. The fruit saw gentle whole-bunch pressing before being racked into large-format French oak, where it stayed on lees for 18 months. Unsurprisingly, given the above, this is a wine with layers of complexity and texture. Apple (a touch oxidative), white peach, cardamom spice, honeysuckle and macadamia. What really astounds is the flinty, crushed quartz mineral line, threaded into the wider citric canvas, the two equating to a pleasing and long-lived finale. Let it be known, I really like these wines."

The Commune of Buttons Chardonnay in 2024 was harvested from parcels of fruit on the north and east facing aspects of the ABC and Clover vineyards respectively. The hand harvested grapes were gently whole bunch pressed, the juice then settled in tank for 12 hours before being racked into 600L French demi-muid barrels where fermentation took place. Elevage was for 18 months on lees. The wine has white fruits pears and peaches with a vein of citrus, it is concentrated and clipped with a chiseled minerality.

Commune of Buttons

Siblings Jasper and Sophie Button returned home some years ago to help save their family vineyard nestled in the Basket Range of the Adelaide Hills, planted primarily to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay 20 years ago by their mother.

They began restoring the site and transitioning to organic and biodynamic farming, and at some point decided that rather than sell off their prized grapes to others, they’d turn their hand to winemaking.

The wines are made naturally with only minimal sulphur additions and slow, gentle ferments. Jasper's winemaking has taken them to the front of the pack in the lo-fi Australian wine scene. With each release, the wines are more refined and detailed. They are wonderfully pure, unadulterated and as loveable as the family who makes them.

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
