Tasting Notes

"Sparkling red needs the kind of injection of energy and lightness of touch that Jo Marsh brings to the style. Here, we see it aromatic, fragrant in lifted black cherry, cranberry, violets and sweet spice. The palate is fleshy, juicy but tannic firm with a brightness of red fruits and an easygoing nature, finishing with a pastille sweetness. A blend of durif and saperavi with a splash of shiraz brings something new – and welcome – to the style." 92 Points, Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion

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.
