Usher Tinkler Rose
A 50/50 blend of Shiraz and Merlot, picked and handled separately just after the berries changed colour. The fruit was crushed and quickly pressed into tank for fermentation. A bright and fresh style of Rose full of red fruit flavour.
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.
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.
Usher Tinkler Chardonnay Semillon
A blend of 70% Chardonnay with 30% Old Vine Semillon. The Chardonnay underwent wild yeast fermentation in French oak, while the Semillon was fermented in stainless steel. The final blend is a mix of flint and funky from the Chardonnay and zesty, fresh citrus from the Semillon.
