Nose-to-Tail takes typical Hunter varieties and magics them into something innovative and contemporary. Just like nose-to-tail cooking, the wines aim to show how varieties can be made into unique styles that previously may have been overlooked. The Nose to Tail Red, a blend of Shiraz and Pinot, offers jubey fruits-of-the-forest flavours and Christmas cake spice; it’s light, soft and juicy with good acidity and firm tannin. Usherly delicious and great for chilling too!

Usher Tinkler is one of Australia’s most dynamic and progressive young winemakers, and, with a small handful of contemporaries, is changing the face of the Hunter Valley wine scene. With his grandfather and father before him, he is the next generation of Hunter Valley farming expertise; the dairyman, the cattleman and the vigneron/ winemaker all involved in their family property. They all share the name Usher, along with a united passion for the land. As a tribute to this heritage Usher Tinkler Wines was born. Usher the third now owns over 60 hectares of superb vineyards in Pokolbin and showcases a unique mix of varieties and styles. With a cellar door located in the Pokolbin Church, originally built in 1905 and renovated by Usher and his wife Ebony, Usher is shifting gears in the Hunter Valley with authentic yet adventurous estate-grown wines that blur the lines between traditional and contemporary winemaking.
