The 2025 Commune of Buttons Gloria Pinot Noir is a beautifully refined and expressive single-site Pinot Noir from Jasper Button and Sophie Thomson, sourced from organically farmed Adelaide Hills fruit and crafted with a sensitive minimal-intervention approach. More layered and structured than the Estate Pinot Noir, Gloria highlights the depth, savoury complexity and elegance that cool-climate Pinot Noir can achieve. The nose is intensely aromatic with wild strawberry, dark cherry and raspberry unfolding into rose petal, dried herbs, warm spice and subtle forest floor notes. There’s an earthy mineral edge and delicate whole-bunch perfume that adds impressive detail and sophistication.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky texture, fine tannins and bright natural acidity carrying the wine effortlessly. Concentrated yet beautifully restrained, the palate layers vibrant red fruits with savoury spice, gentle herbal complexity and subtle earthy undertones. The finish is long, poised and finely structured, offering both immediate charm and excellent ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2025 Commune of Buttons Gloria Pinot Noir is a serious yet approachable Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir — elegant, savoury and wonderfully composed with excellent depth and finesse. A fantastic match for duck breast, roast quail, mushroom risotto, pork dishes or soft cheeses. Enjoy now through 2035+.
