More Information

A sweet wine style somewhat unique to Margaret River as the Cane Cut method is not widely used in Australia. Refreshing with a beautiful natural acidity, the Cane Cut is not cloying or heavy. It pairs perfectly with both desserts (particularly fruit based) and savoury, salty foods (think blue cheese).

MAKING
CANE CUT

The fruiting Semillon canes were cut as they achieved ripeness, restricting their access to water and nutrients. The fruit, hanging in the autumn breeze, dried and shrivelled on the canes, concentrating the sugar, flavour and acidity for approximately four weeks before harvest. Great care was taken to ensure the fruit remained healthy during this period and that precise levels of concentration were achieved. The fruit and juice were macerated for 20 hours in the press prior to extraction. The wine was fermented and matured in French oak.
