Commune of Buttons - 2023 Commune Pinot Noir

The Commune Pinot hails from the Clover vineyard on the Commune of Buttons property. This half hectare of Pinot vines faces east and is home to a patchwork of clones (777, 667, D5V12) that sit in the property’s clay, sandstone and quartz-rich soils. The fruit was picked by hand and mostly destemmed (10% bunches). After fermentation, the wine matured for eleven months in a single large foudre. Bright, fresh and red fruited with cherries and spice on the nose, and a dark bramble, generous core. - Jasper Button, WInemaker.
