The 2022 Commune of Buttons Blanc de Blancs Method Ancestral Sparkling is a finely crafted 100% Chardonnay from the Piccadilly Valley in the Adelaide Hills. Produced using the ancestral method, the wine undergoes a single natural fermentation in bottle and is aged on lees to build texture and complexity while preserving freshness. The nose is bright and expressive, offering aromas of lemon zest, green apple and white peach, complemented by white flowers, brioche and a delicate mineral note.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a fine, gentle mousse and vibrant natural acidity. Flavours of crisp citrus, orchard fruit and subtle pastry notes are balanced by a chalky mineral edge, leading to a long, dry and refreshing finish. The ancestral method gives the wine a beautifully textural character while maintaining purity and precision.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy artisan sparkling wines with freshness, texture and minimal-intervention winemaking. Serve well chilled with freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns, soft cheeses or light canapés. Best enjoyed now and over the next3–5 years while its vibrant fruit and lively acidity are at their best.
