Usher Tinkler Paperwasp Chardonnay 2024 is a standout wine from a small 1.6-hectare vineyard planted in 1985 in the Hunter Valley with sandy loam soils. This wine is 100% barrel fermented in French oak, with 15% undergoing malolactic fermentation and lees stirring, creating a rich yet fresh and vibrant style. It features an appealing balance of creamy textures and bright acidity, with flavors of yellow-fleshed peaches, yellow grapefruit, and ginger spice. The wine offers a luscious mouthfeel combining richness reminiscent of crème brûlée and Jersey caramel creaminess with refreshing zesty acidity, making it incredibly drinkable and versatile. It is highly praised for its quality and excellent value, recommended for drinking over the next five or more years.​
