This is a cool climate Tempranillo with plenty of personality. Deep purple hues and a nose bursting with dark plums, vanilla and spice. With classic red fruited notes and a nice balance of tannin, this is a lovely comfort wine.

Billy Button is located in the picturesque region of the Alpine Valleys, and aside from having the word valley in its name, has the crown for being the highest region in Australia. The cellar door is located in the exceptionally beautiful town of Bright, and although it was named after a British statesman, it should have been named after the incredibly bright skies found here. The town is located at the valley of Mount Buffalo, so is an ideal stop when visiting the slopes for skiing or staying at the local camping grounds. The winery is the creation of Jo Marsh and her husband Glenn James, who have the lofty ambition of making a wine from any grape variety that has existed (we kid, but seriously they produce a lot of wines) and representing Alpine Valleys and its surrounding regions with pride. The wines are named after the Billy Button, a native flower which is found in the region, and are well made and worth the price of admission. They also make a handful of wines under their Shy Susan and Clay Pot labels, which are equally worth seeking out.
