Hunter 2016 vintage underway with first whites

USHER Tinkler was feeling good on Thursday after harvesting half of his chardonnay grapes from the family vineyard on Pokolbin Mountains Road. “We have a long way to go yet,” the winemaker said. “We’re only 10 per cent of the way there. But it’s nice premium chardonnay. It’s a good start.” Andrew Margan at Broke was also satisfied with the 50 tonnes of chardonnay picked for his wines this week.
