Produced from the organic Shady Pines vineyard planted in 1968. This Shiraz fruit was fermented as whole bunches and pressed off at dryness into old French oak. The wine underwent full malolactic fermentation and was matured for 10 months in French oak, before being bottled at 12 months. The final product is a Shiraz driven by the flavour of juicy black plum and mulberry.

Decant this wine to open the bouquet and enjoy its blackberry aromatics.

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 bottled at 8 months.
