Description

From the deep, sandy soils of Blewitt Springs comes one of the most distinctive reds in the Commune of Buttons lineup. The Sable vineyard is home to old Syrah and Grenache vines - some more than 80 years old - that produce fruit full of perfume and power.

Jasper picked both varieties on the same day (about 60% Syrah, 40% Grenache), keeping the winemaking simple to let the site do the talking. After a slow, three-week maceration, the wine spent 18 months in large old foudre, allowing the tannins to soften without losing freshness.

It’s medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, showing plush plum and violet tones, fine sandy tannins and a long, mineral finish. There’s an easy flow to the wine, but it never feels loose because there's plenty of tannin there to keep things tight.

This is Blewitt Springs through the lens of Basket Range.

The Sable vineyard is located in Blewitt Springs and consists of deep sandy soils. It is 6 hectares of 80-year-old Syrah and Grenache vines. The fruit was hand harvested on the same day, with roughly 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache. Gentle extraction has made for a light frame and structure, there is a plum and violet core, the tannins are fine from the sandy soils, and there is a refreshing lift with the long line of natural acidity

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.
