Winemaker Notes
The excellent structure imparted on this wine by the Semillon component, allied with the very high quality of the Sauvignon Blanc fruit and the subtle use of oak, will ensure that this wine will age very well in bottle.
"Pale straw with green and yellow tinges. Restrained complex and citrusy fragrance of honeydew melon and gooseberry, accentuated by spicy clove and nutmeg notes of the fine-grained oak. Tight, focused, bright and pure, with penetrating, crystalline gooseberry and passionfruit flavors playing along the entire length of the fine, minerally palate. Superbly crafted and balanced; a near perfect expressive of a definitive Australian breed of white wine."

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.
