2021 Commune of Buttons Syrah. Adelaide Hills, SA. 750ml.
The fruit for 2021 was harvested on the 12th of April at 11.5% potential alcohol. Whole bunches were chilled for 3 days pre-fermentation with 3 tonne jarrah fermenters filled, leaving 80% of the fruit as whole bunch. At the end of fermentation, bunches were jumped on just before pressing to extract colour and tannin.
The wine is soft and distinctly Syrah with powerful violets and blueberries. The fruit is grounded thought by the early tannins and acidy resulting in a wine that’s light with great depth, and very drinkable.
