From the sandy slopes of Blewitt Springs in McLaren Vale, Commune of Buttons’ 2023 ‘Sable’ Syrah & Grenache is a debut release that embodies the region’s warmth and finesse. Crafted by Jasper and Sophie Button, this 60/40 blend is hand-harvested, gently fermented, and aged for 10 months in fibreglass tanks to preserve its fresh, lifted character. The wine greets the senses with aromas of plum and violet, while the palate balances fine tannins with natural acidity, offering an elegant and approachable expression of McLaren Vale terroir. Limited in production, ‘Sable’ demonstrates the Buttons’ commitment to small-batch, site-specific winemaking, making it a captivating addition for anyone seeking a nuanced, expressive South Australian red.
