About

Granite Belt, Queensland — three classic Rhône varieties (Viognier, Marsanne, Roussanne) blended and aged with skin contact. Apricot, honeysuckle, herbs and texture. Distinctly Australian, unmistakably skin-contact.

Producer note

The Granite Belt sits at 700–1,000m altitude near the NSW/QLD border, giving La Petite Mort the coolness needed for Rhône varieties that would otherwise bake in Queensland.

Okros

From the Republic of Georgia — the birthplace of orange wine, with 8,000 years of history. Rkatsiteli aged in qvevri (clay amphorae) buried in the ground. Dried apricot, honey, walnut, herbal notes, gentle tannin. A wine that drinks like history.

Usher Tinkler Death BY Semillon 2024

Usher Tinkler Wines

Hand-picked from 40-year-old estate Semillon vines, destemmed and wild-fermented on skins for around ten days without any added sulphur, then pressed to neutral old oak (previously used for Chardonnay) for malolactic fermentation and roughly three months' ageing before bottling unfined and unfiltered. The result is textural and grippy rather than the bone-dry, stainless-steel style Hunter Semillon is known for — green chilli, white peach, kaffir lime leaf and lemongrass over a savoury, orange-wine structure.
