The Basket Town Chardonnay is the perfect entry-point to sample the stellar style of Adelaide Hills Chardonnay coming out of the Button's cellar at the moment...
The blend of vineyards that contribute to this wine include Udys and Commune of Buttons vineyards in Piccadilly and Kas Sluiter Vineyard in Onkaparinga.
It's a more opulent number, at least aromatically, with an orchard of stone fruits apparent. That richness diminishes on the palate, as it tightens up, becoming fine and chalky. Classic COB tension and freshness. It's a delicious, stylish, modern Adelaide Hills Chardonnay.
“The wine is saline and tightly bound. There is excellent texture and mouthfeel from slow pressing and great focus and minerality from light extraction. The cool, wet conditions for 2023 made for aromatic, pretty Chardonnay wines dominated by ample white pear and citrus characters.”
