- Notes of dried apricot and pineapple combine with honeysuckle, butter, and hazelnut, making this rich and opulent wine balanced by a refreshing finish. Citrus and tropical fruit characters are complemented by lush marmalade, nutty, and honeysuckle notes on a richly opulent palate, which is refreshed by mineral-like acidity.
The hand-picked grapes were handled reductively. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures with selected neutral and aromatic yeasts and lasted 10 days. Fermentation was arrested by chilling to 2°C at approximately 120 grams of residual sugar, resulting in this lusciously sweet wine. It was bottled early to preserve the purity of the fruit.

Winery | Tahbilk’s vineyards are grouped along the banks of the Goulburn River and an anabranch that flows through the estate. The water has a tempering influence on the climate. The vines are grown at approximately 134 meters of gently undulating and flat terrain. The soils are sandy loams with ferric oxide content, which varies from very fine sand near the anabranch to denser loams on the plains. The origin of the older block vines is unknown, but ampelography inspection suggests a mixture of varieties. The blocks planted before 1986 are on ARG rootstocks and are healthy. The spur and cane-pruned vines are spaced at 2.1 x 3 meters and are trained according to a mixture of head and cordon methods. This wine is named after the practice of cutting the canes, where the fruiting cane is detached from the vine. The bunches of grapes are left to hang before harvest, drying the fruit, which concentrates the flavours and sugars, resulting in a luscious wine. |
