Ben Cane

His love for pinot noir began while working as an assistant winemaker at Arcadian Winery in Santa Barbara County, California.

Once his tenure at Acadian was completed, he travelled through South America, Africa, Asia and Europe before returning to Australia where he became a vineyard manager in the Barossa Valley.

In October 2013 Ben left Twomey and took a Head Winemaker job at a boutique winery also within the Russian River Valley AVA of Sonoma County.

In late 2018 Ben accepted a position as Winemaker at Cape Mentelle Winery in Margaret River, Western Australia (which was owned by Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton[5] at the time) and moved back to his home country with a strong desire to reconnect with the premium Australian wine industry.

During three years at Cape Mentelle, Ben was an instrumental member of the winemaking team overseeing the production of 60,000-100,000 cases, assisted with the viticulture of 130ha of vines across Margaret River, and was the designated technical voice to represent the brand in market to trade, media and consumers, and in-house staff across LVMH.
