WINEMAKER: Jasper Button
REGION: Adelaide Hills, SA
VARIETY: Syrah
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic

"This is the second year we have made this wine from the Kas Sluiter vineyard in Mylor. The Sluiter vineyard is ¾ of Ha of Syrah with 3 different clones 1164, 1127 and 1125. The soil is sand over light clay. The site is cool under the shadow of a large hill and ripening tends towards the end of April. When we were tasting the fruit for this harvest, we all agreed it was the tastiest fruit off the vine of all the vineyards and we are very excited to be working with these vines! The wine is soft and distinctly Syrah with powerful violets and blueberries. The fruit is grounded thought by the early tannins and acidy. The wine is light but has depth - very drinkable." - Jasper

In the epicentre of Australia’s lo-fi wine movement, siblings Sophie and Jasper Button have created a label that strives for transparency and unpretentiousness. The organic operation is focused mainly on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with minimal intervention and additions. Bottling occurs by hand at the source.The resulting wines are vibrant and delicious and speak of site above all else.
