The Rustic Sangiovese

Billy Button The Rustic Sangiovese is sourced from the cool climate Bunamero and Con Mara Vineyards at Whorouly South, at the western end of Victoria's Alpine Valleys.

The fruit is crushed directly to open tubs, where fermentation begins naturally with wild yeasts. The ferments are gently plunged twice daily.

For maturation, the wine is pressed to Flexcubes – polymer 'barrels' that mimic the oxygen permeability of traditional oak. After 10 months on lees the wine is filtered and bottled.

Pale crimson, Billy Button The Rustic Sangiovese is a fresh, vibrant wine with cherry flavours and bright acidity. Cellaring potential is three years.
