Congratulations to Christian Canute from Rusden Wines in the Barossa Valley for his cover story in the September/October 2019 issue of WBM Magazine.

The Rusden Vineyard is on the eastern side of the Barossa Valley, where the Canute family grow, make and sell stunning wines drawing on knowledge passed down by 8 generations. Christian Canute’s 18 years of winemaking experience have led to a style steeped in tradition, where hand-picking, gentle de-stemming, open air fermentation, basket pressing and ageing in a blend of French and American Oak translate to wines that “refine the power of Barossa fruit, yet highlight the floral aromatics and spice characters inherent in the grapes grown in Vine Vale’s sandy soil.”
