James Halliday includes Cullen’s 2016 Mangan Vineyard Merlot Malbec Petit Verdot in his list of ‘Organic Wines: five to try’
James Halliday talks about five organic wines to try on his winecompanion.com.au website. All Cullen Wines are biodynamically produced, which takes organic production one step further by incorporating cosmic rhythms, minimal intervention and treating the entire vineyard and winery as an interconnected ecosystem. You can read more about biodynamics here.
Halliday says;
“Inspired by Australian Organic Awareness Month, as September has been dubbed by the country’s largest certifier of organic and biodynamic produce, we dip into the 2018 Halliday Wine Companion guide for an assortment of certified wines worth your consideration.
2016 Cullen Mangan Vineyard Margaret River Merlot Malbec Petit Verdot
96 points
A 78/15/7% blend, matured in French oak (34% new) for 7 months. Bright crimson-purple hue; a super-fragrant bouquet, followed by an immaculately balanced and structured palate full of juicy red fruits. Terrific value, drink any time over the next 20 years.”
