2007 MARGARET RIVER WHITE
This
wine is essentially a replacement for the Ellen Bussell White wine and
is made entirely from fruit grown on Cullens own vineyards. As it is made
predominantly from the traditional Bordeaux blend of Sauvignon Blanc and
Semillon, it is bottled in a Bordeaux bottle. However, the wine does contain
a small amount of Chardonnay and this has added complexity and a touch
of richness to the middle palate, without changing the basic structure
of the wine.

This wine provides further confirmation of the extraordinary quality of 2007 as a vintage for white wines in Margaret River. The delightful characteristics of this wine are the result of a careful selection of the varieties used for the blend and subsequently ensuring that the individual contributions of each great variety produced an optimal result. This wine, which was tank fermented, consisted of 51% Sauvignon Blanc, 28% Semillon, 18% Chardonnay and 3% Verdelho. Even though the contribution by the last of those varieties was small, our recent tasting showed that it still added significant, positive characteristics to the wine.
