The 2021 Commune of Buttons ABC Chardonnay is a finely crafted Adelaide Hills Chardonnay sourced from the estate's ABC vineyard in Basket Range. Made with a minimal-intervention approach, it captures the purity of cool-climate fruit and the character of its sandstone and quartz soils. The nose is bright and expressive, revealing aromas of white peach, pear and citrus, complemented by subtle brioche, toasted nuts and a distinctive saline minerality.
On the palate, it is beautifully textured with vibrant natural acidity and a refined, silky mouthfeel. Flavours of orchard fruit, lemon zest and stone fruit are balanced by gentle lees complexity and a chalky mineral finish, creating a Chardonnay that is both fresh and layered without excessive oak influence.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for lovers of elegant, cool-climate Chardonnay with texture and precision. Pair with grilled prawns, roast chicken, creamy mushroom pasta, pan-seared scallops or mature Gruyère. Enjoy now or cellar for the next 5–8 years as it develops additional complexity.
