Wine

This is a wine defined by great purity, elegance and a fantastic acid backbone: a vintage destined for great ageing potential.

These old vine Cabernet Sauvignon Houghton clones (8 different clones) were planted in 1971 on their own roots and are destined for the flagship wine Diana Madeline.
2018 produced small yields, being 5.88 tonnes per hectare of Cabernet Sauvignon from certified biodynamic, carbon negative fruit. This has created a natural wine with elegance, balance and power.

The best batch of Cabernet Sauvignon harvested on a full flower day from the great 2018 vintage. It is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon crushed into amphora and aged on skins for 56 days before pressing with a short maturation in 100% puncheon oak for 5 months. It has had no fining.

This wine, our flagship 2019 Kevin John has been sourced from our old chardonnay vines planted in 1976-1988. They are Gin Gin Clone, also known as the Old Wente Clone originally from UC Davis. They produce tiny yields of the best quality fruit.

The Malbec vines were planted in 1995 and 1997 and always make an incredibly vibrant wine. It is perfectly suited to the expressive no additions of sulphur dioxide wine style.

This delicious wine is made from dry farmed malbec from the Mangan Vineyard, and is certified biodynamic and carbon positive. It was harvested on a fruit day in the biodynamic calendar, before being naturally fermented without additions. No preservatives have been used in the production of this wine.

The 2016 season delivered another outstanding vintage: the fruit produced by all varieties in the vineyards of Cullen Wines was exceptional.

We have observed that Moon Opposite Saturn Harvest (MOSH) gives us wines which are vibrant, mineral and full of life, so we harvested separately on this day, which was a flower day harvest and whole bunch pressed to barrel where the wines went through natural fermentation.

A Red Moon occurs during a total lunar eclipse when the light filtering through the Earth’s atmosphere dapples the moon in red light.

This wine of the 2017 vintage is a tribute to the land and the vines it came from. Pure expression of a great year for Cullen Wines.

As usual, this blend contains a greater volume of Sauvignon Blanc than Semillon, which reflects the outstanding qualities of the fruit produced by the former variety on the Cullen Vineyard.

Life is a dance!!! A dance between the sun and the moon. They give to, and circle the earth. The moon is the most important planet in our biodynamic practice and the sun gives us life ... we honour the moon in the naming of this wine.

This unique wine is produced on a certified Biodynamic, Carbon Neutral and naturally powered estate. The Sauvignon Blanc was harvested from Cullen Vineyard blocks on a flower day during the planetary node of Moon Opposite Saturn. The wine was partially fermented “on skins” in a traditional manner using indigenous yeasts. There was no acid addition and limited fining, giving the land’s song a louder voice in the glass.

This wine was produced on a certified Biodynamic, Carbon Neutral and naturally powered estate. This outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot from the 2018 vintage displays densely flavoured ripe dark fruits, complemented by discrete fine-grained tannins. It was matured in French oak barrels for 6 months, of which 25% were new.

The grapes were harvested from the prime selections of the eastern blocks of the Mangan vineyard, as usual showcasing the best of the specific season.

A very rare release from the Cullen vineyard: a pure Sauvignon Blanc.

This wine was produced on a certified Biodynamic, Carbon Neutral and naturally powered estate. This outstanding blend from the 2018 vintage is a brilliant image of the vintage. Very high quality fruit with precise natural acidity guaranteeing great drinking over the next 10 years.
