Tahbilk Cane Cut Nagambie Lakes Marsanne 2018
Tahbilk Cane Cut Nagambie Lakes Marsanne 2018 – A Lusciously Sweet Australian Dessert Wine
Discover Award-Winning Cane Cut Marsanne from Victoria, Australia
Produced exclusively from 100% Marsanne grapes in the Nagambie Lakes region of Victoria, the Tahbilk Cane Cut Marsanne 2018 is an exceptional Australian dessert wine with remarkable depth, complexity, and balance. Using the traditional cane cut method, grapes are left to dry naturally on the vine, concentrating sugars and flavours for a luxurious sweet wine experience.
Tasting Notes – Rich, Opulent, and Perfectly Balanced
This vintage opens with aromas of dried apricot, pineapple, and honeysuckle, leading into a richly layered palate. Expect lush marmalade, buttery texture, and nutty undertones of hazelnut, lifted by vibrant mineral acidity and citrus zest. Despite its sweetness (Dry/Sweet rating: 5), the finish is clean, refreshing, and impressively elegant.

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. |
