Commune of Buttons are one of our favourite producers from the Adelaide Hills. A brother and sister wine making duo who took over the family property they grew up on to start a legacy of generational wine-makers. Paying close attention to the Earth, sun, moon and rain cycles, they have been using organic practices for over 12 years. Creating beautiful, balanced, fun wines that we’re excited to get our hands on every year.

The Blanc de Blanc Ancestral is made with 100% Chardonnay, sourced from the Kas Sluiter Vineyard in Mylor. The fruit is gently pressed to 50% extraction, then undergoes a slow and cool fermentation using only indigenous yeast. This 50% juice extractions ensures that the wine captures as much freshness and purity as possible. Juice from the final pick of Chardonnay was then added to the wine to increase the sugar to 20g/L at bottling. The bottles were aged for 24months on lees, and disgorged in March 2024.

The wine is very pretty with a tight moussy bead. Bottle aging has given texture with brioche mouthfeel and roundness to balance the acid spine.
