Tasting Notes

Billy Button Friulano 2021

"Deceptively complex in its mix of dried herbs and florals, with poached quince, ginger and tickle of honey. Quite intense and gaining more so, as it ages in tandem with a warm, slippery texture. Fills the mouth and doesn't let go." 93 points, Halliday Wine Companion, Jeni Port

"Ripe orchard fruit, peach, apple, pear, quince, then seaspray whiff and almonds with a sprinkle of spice. Very good crunch on offer, a bit of pepper pinch and a lovely freshness and texture throughout." 91 points, The Wine Front 

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.
