439 Stonewell Rd, Tanunda SA 5352

Winemaker Belinda van Eyssen and viticulturist Daniel McDonald launched The Cutting in 2018. The family venture specialises in small scale boutique Shiraz and Grenache production. Belinda spent her formative winemaking years in the winelands of South Africa, France, Portugal, New Zealand and the US. Daniel spent his training in the vineyards of Australia's Barossa Valley, with brief explorative sojourns to vineyards in Germany and the US. They met among the vines of Sonoma County in California before setting up home and cellar in the Stone Well sub-region of the Barossa, origin of The Cutting.


The Cutting vineyard is farmed sustainably with minimum inputs to ensure soil health and balanced vines. A large area of the property adjacent to the vineyard has been dedicated to restoring and planting native vegetation to increase biodiversity and native wildlife.


The single vineyard Shiraz has received several trophies and awards including a gold medal at the highly acclaimed
Barossa wine show in 2020.

The team offer personalised tastings hosted by the Winemaker in their boutique winery and vineyard setting.

Wonderful morning with Belinda, she will take you through the process off the wine and her knowledge off the land the vine's are on is interesting especially how they got the name The Cutting. Wines are really good and good value.

The cutting is a very small new winery. My partner and I did the vertical tasting at The Cutting. It has been my favourite wine tasting I've ever been to. The wine tasting was run by Belinda the wine maker and her passion for wine shines through the tasting. She explained a lot about the wines and grapes as well as bringing a great conversation. We tried the Outlier Grenache as well as three different vintages of the Shiraz. Belinda was generous with her servings and helped us through tasting the different vintages of the same wine, which was a very enlightening.
