All Cullen Wines are grown on a certified Biodynamic, Carbon Neutral and naturally powered estate. Grapes are harvested by hand on fruit and flower days according to the astrological calendar.
The wines have no additions of yeast, acidity or malolactic culture, and are in this sense natural wines which express the place and land on which they are grown.
Winegrowing began on the Cullen property in Margaret River over 40 years ago. On the advice of eminent agronomist Dr John Gladstones, Dr. Kevin and Diana Cullen planted a trial acre of vines at Wilyabrup in 1966.
The encouraging results of this led to the planting of 18 acres of vines on their sheep and cattle farm in 1971.
The Cullen Restaurant overlooks the historic vineyard located in Wilyabrup and provides a relaxing place to enjoy a glass of wine, lunch or a coffee while exploring the Margaret River region.
In keeping with biodynamic philosophy of the winemaking, all food is prepared using fresh, biodynamic and organic produce and is sourced from our own garden and select local producers.
