CANE CUT SEMILLON
Made from Semillon grapes, the vines had their canes cut when the flavours were ripe and the fruit left to slowly ripen. The result is a powerful and seductive dessert wine of great pleasure.

Tasting notes
Colour
Deep concentrated and black colour
Aroma
The bouquet is classic McLaren Vale of coffee, mocha, cola, chocolate, mulberry, plums and with some lovely spices backed by a little peppermint
Palate
The palate starts out coating and round, a really long drive with loads of plummy fruits. This finishes round, soft and very inviting; it has great personality and drive, and is a lot of fun to drink now and will age well into the medium term.
Winemaking
The grapes were crushed into and fermented in 5, 7 and 10 tonne open top fermenters. During the peak of fermentation the batches received regular pump overs 3 times daily to extract colour, flavour and tannin. The average time on skins was 15 days. The free run was drained off and the skins were pressed, with the pressings then combined with the free run. After 24 hours the wine was racked to barrel where malolactic fermentation proceeded. The final blend was lightly fined and unfiltered prior to bottling.
