The fermentation is often stopped early to retain a high level of residual sugar, resulting in a lusciously sweet wine that is balanced by the concentrated, high natural acidity of the Riesling grape.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe term \"Cane Cut\" originated in Australia and is essentially a modern, vineyard-based version of the traditional European \"straw wine\" or passito method. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pooley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43399752351950,"sku":"510080","price":46.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/6393\/2110\/files\/pooley_butchers_hill_cane_cut_rielsing_market_wine_store.jpg?v=1772357656","url":"https:\/\/marketwinestore.com.au\/products\/pooley-cane-cut-riesling-2024-375ml","provider":"Market Wine Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
