His wines are a genuine breath of fresh air in the Hunter Valley, and the 'Big Bad Bill' Semillon is a perfect example of why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNamed in honour of his father, Bill - a local legend with over 50 harvests under his belt - this is sourced from a tiny 1.4-hectare block of vines Bill planted himself back in 1980. Grown on classic Hunter red terracotta clay, the site naturally delivers serious fruit concentration and purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking here is clean and completely unadorned to let that old-vine fruit shine. It is hand-picked, destemmed, and whole-berry pressed straight to stainless steel for a cool fermentation. It sees zero oak and no malolactic fermentation. Just pure, precise Semillon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it is bright, zesty, and highly refreshing. You get a core of lime citrus and a faint tropical note, all pulled tightly together by a driving mineral edge. It is dangerously drinkable right now, but like all top-tier Hunter Semillon, it has the structure to easily cruise in the cellar for 20 years if you want to see it evolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A fabulous example of single-site, old-vine semillon and a simply delicious glass of wine.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Toni Paterson (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Usher Tinkler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43121246044203,"sku":"2024 Usher Tinkler Wines Big Bad Bill Semillon","price":32.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2024UsherTinklerWinesBigBadBillSemillon.png?v=1772588753","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2024-usher-tinkler-wines-big-bad-bill-semillon","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
