The 2024 Commune of Buttons Estate Chardonnay is a vibrant and finely structured Adelaide Hills Chardonnay from Jasper Button and Sophie Thomson, crafted from organically farmed estate fruit with a restrained minimal-intervention philosophy. Elegant and precise, the wine showcases cool-climate purity and texture while allowing the vineyard character to remain front and centre. The nose reveals white nectarine, lemon zest and grapefruit alongside subtle struck flint, almond meal, oatmeal and delicate floral notes. There’s a lifted mineral freshness and gentle savoury complexity that adds impressive detail and refinement.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright natural acidity, fine creamy texture and beautifully integrated fruit. Fresh citrus and stone fruit flavours are layered with subtle lees character, delicate oak spice and a clean mineral line that gives the wine energy and length. Focused and refreshing in style, the finish is crisp, savoury and elegantly persistent.
