2024 Billy Button Rosato

Billy Button is the passion project of Jo Marsh, one of the Alpine Valleys’ most talented winemakers, supported by her husband Glenn James and young winemaker Alex Phillips. Known for crafting small-batch wines from offbeat varieties, Billy Button is all about showcasing the beauty of the Alpine Valleys with a fresh and creative approach.

The 2024 Rosato is made entirely from Sangiovese, sourced from Ferraro Vineyards in Myrtleford. Delicately machine-harvested, crushed, and fermented in stainless steel, this rosé sees time on yeast lees for added texture while maintaining a focus on freshness.

Pale salmon in colour, it offers delicate aromas of strawberry leaf, red cherry, and a hint of fairy floss. The palate is light and refreshing, with bright red fruit flavours, a soft textural element, and a crisp, dry finish. It’s balanced, uncomplicated, and delightfully drinkable—an ideal companion for sunny days or casual gatherings.

The Billy Button Rosato is yet another example of Jo Marsh’s gentle, thoughtful winemaking style, highlighting the charm of alternative varieties from the Alpine Valleys.
