Meg Wallace
Meg Wallace is a winemaker at Billy Button Wines in Victoria’s Alpine Valleys whose Nacre label – launched from the 2021 vintage – makes a small, intentional range of wines from the region’s Italian varieties, with vermentino and refosco at its current core. Named for mother of pearl, and in tribute to five generations of women in Wallace’s family all sharing the name Margaret, Nacre is a quietly personal project built around the particular parcels and growers she has come to know best. The wines are textural, savoury and handled with a light hand – a label from a region whose Italian variety credentials are still only beginning to be understood.
