Winemaker Notes
Deep straw green with gold tinges. A complex blend of well- integrated citrus lime, pawpaw and vanillin oak aromas. The quince and lemon fruit flavors, which fill the whole palate, are rich and very attractive and backed by just the right amount of good clean oak.
"Pale to medium bright straw yellow. Opulent aromas of ripe melon, pineapple and grapefruit overlay smoky oak and creamy, earthy lees influences. Powerful, ripe and concentrated, with a huge cellaring future. The wine's explosive impact is matched by its tightness and elegance, culminating in a lingering savory, mineral-tinged finish.

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.
