Tasting Notes

Billy Button Barbera 2022

GOLD | 2023 North East Victorian Wine Challenge

"A lipsmacking, purple-hued, spice-filled, soft-hearted young red that rocks. The expressive, energetic joy of the barbera grape is laid bare. Licorice, dried herbs, vanilla and plum with a splash of sour cherry tartness show the grape at its youthful best. So much to see, smell and enjoy."  95 Points, Special Value, Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion

"Geez, I could not think of a more appropriate nickname for Barbera. It’s that super friendly kid from the block who always offers you some delicious blood plums, mouth-watering, sweet black cherries, and raspberries. All while sharing those with you, he shovels everything in his mouth and laughs with gusto. Honestly, who doesn’t want to have a friend like that? Drink now – 2027." 95 Points, Lisa Cardelli, Winepilot.com

Finalist for Best Value Winery in the 2024 Halliday Wine Companion, the Billy Button range showcases what modern, cool climate Australian wine really looks like in 2024.

Jo Marsh is not a box ticker. She embraces every task with great expectation and seeks out the path less travelled. With a focus on alternate varietals, Jo produces an astounding array of wines, which including cellar door only wines, comprises over 20 different varietals, some in miniscule quantities. Working closely with local growers Jo has helped to breath new life into this tiny wine region, and shine a light on the breadth and depth of the grape varietal variation that we have in Australia. Jo follows no rule book, she believes in doing what’s best for the wine, polishing and perfecting, highlighting the fruit and sculpting the palate so the wine flows through the mouth with texture and interest.
