A founding winery of Margaret River, Cullen was established in 1971 by pioneering winemakers Kevin and Diana Cullen. In redefining the style of Australian Cabernet Sauvignon produced in the 1970s, the fledgling estate caught the attention of the nation. Since then, an unrelenting commitment to quality, integrity and sustainability has positioned Cullen as one of Australia’s greatest estates – and Margaret River as one of the nation’s premier wine-producing regions. The mature, biodynamically farmed vineyard produces elegant, age-worthy wines that draw world-wide critical acclaim, including what is regarded by many as the country’s definitive Bordeaux blend.
Tasting notes:
A blend of Malbec and Petit Verdot, this lithe, medium-bodied wine makes an interesting contrast to Cullen’s Mangan Vineyard Merlot-Malbec-Petit Verdot. It’s a leaner wine, with modest cherry-berry fruit and ample accents of cinnamon, cedar and vanilla.
