Description
This new release from Usher Tinkler came about over a shared bottle of wine, as so often great ideas do with the desire to offer a barrel fermented Hunter Chardonnay immediately accessible both in style and price point. Usher Tinker own over 60 hectares of established vineyard in Pokolbin including some superb older Chardonnay vines. This wine comes from a 1.6 hectare vineyard planted in 1985, vines now over 35 years old, sandy loam composition.
Handpicked, 100% barrel fermented in a mix of 1 to 3 year old French oak with a small portion going through malolactic fermentation. The 2022 has been aged for 18 months on fine lees with battonage during the elevage.
This wine takes it’s name from the vineyard “Paperwasp Vineyard” due to the high number of Paperwasps that nest in the vines around harvest time.

"This single-vineyard wine has fresh, high-toned aromas of lemon and grapefruit elevated by enticing, fragrant oak. The palate has exceptional vitality with a modern expression. Fresh, textural, and expansive, the wine is deliciously long, framed by compelling phenolics and tensioned by a core of mouth-watering acidity."
- Toni Paterson (Halliday Wine Companion)
