Usher William Tinkler (Bill): my father, the farmer and veteran of more than 50 harvests from the vines he planted, nurtures and protects. He’s a gentleman, just like this Old Vine Semillon.

Hand picked, destemmed and whole berry pressed into tank. The juice was cold settled overnight before racking off the clear juice and fermenting this in tank. No oak, no MLF. The wine was clarified and bottle at 8 months.

2023 Death By Semillon

Fermented as whole bunches and pressed off at the end of fermentation. This Semillon then spent 3 months in old French barrels previously used for our Chardonnay and underwent full malolactic fermentation. The result is a textural, juicy white wine with a zesty, dry finish. 

$30.00

2023 Usher Tinkler Shiraz Pinot

A blend of 70% Shady Pines Shiraz and 30% Hill Pinot Noir fruit. The wine underwent whole berry fermentation with gentle handling before maturing in old French oak for 3 months. The gentle winemaking helped give soft tannins and enhance the flavours of cherry, plum, and mulberry. 

$35.00

2023 La Volpe Prosecco

The fruit was destemmed and pressed into stainless steel for fermentation. The final product shows spritz, and bubbles lashed with mineral notes, overtones of ripe nashi pear, apple and elderflower.
