The Canute family roots in the Barossa Valley, the heartland of Shiraz (or Syrah) go back eight generations The vines are cultivated on the clay soils of Vine Vale, with family spirit and passion. After travelling extensively, son Christian Canute creates wines on the domaine using methods to which he is fully committed: manual harvesting, destemming, fermentation in open vats, pressing, and ageing in oak barrels both old and new.
