Vintage 2021 Photo Essay | Cane Cut Semillon Harvest

Our viti crew were joined by the multitalented Estate hospitality team to handpick our Cane Cut Semillon blocks in the Adam's Road vineyard in March.
 
The Cane Cut method is a method perfectly suited to the Mediterranean climate of Margaret River. Approximately four weeks before harvest, as the berries achieve ripeness, fruiting Semillon canes are cut just above the cordon, restricting their access to water. 

The bunches are then left hanging in the autumn breeze until the fruit has dried and shrivelled on the canes, concentrating the sugar, flavour and natural acidity, to create an incredibly succulent, fresh and juicy dessert wine.
