Wine Summary Image

Cullen is one of the pioneers of the Margaret River and produces some of Australia's best Cabernet based wine. The wine is crammed with rich cassis fruit and oak with layers and layers of fruit framed by ripe, tight tannins. The finish is long and elegant.. From one of Australia's best Cabernet producers.

Perhaps Cullen's best-known wine, this blend was recently included in the prestigious Langton Classification of Australian Wines. The vines planted in 1971 are 30 years old. On average the yields are around two tons per acre, or 26 hectolitres per hectare, giving great concentration to the wine. They are grown on the Scott Henry trellising system, which yields grapes with ripe tannins and flavours. This wine is typically a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The varieties are vinified separately and matured in French oak for 18 months. The result is a deeply coloured wine with great depth of flavour, fine grain tannins and outstanding cellaring potential.

Expert Reviews

95 points, Halliday Wine Companion

Excellent hue and depth; a complex, medium to full-bodied web of texture and flavour; perfectly balanced oak and tannins supporting blackcurrant fruit; long finish.

Winery Tasting Notes

Superb colour featuring a totally opaque inky black dark red core with a deep very dark red hue. Showing both intensity and complexity the nose expels perfumed scents of ripe blackcurrants, subtle violet and dark mulberries that interplay with secondary and tertiary nuances of cedary tobacco, bay leaf, faint earth and spice. Medium weighted, rich in fruit yet elegant in appearance and with a gorgeous savouriness the palate delivers mouthfilling flavours of blackcurrant and dark mulberries intermixed with cedar, tobacco and cigar box followed by touches of earth and spice. The velvet smooth tannins still have plenty of structure behind them for further cellaring. Long aftertaste of blackcurrant, dark mulberry, tobacco leaf, cigar box, dusty cedar and spice.

Winery Profile

Winemaking began on the Cullen property in Margaret River less than 40 years ago. Studies in South Western Australia conducted in the early 1960Â?s showed that Margaret River had some special qualities. The climate was particularly suited to growing Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. On the advice of eminent agronomist Dr John Gladstones, Kevin and Diana Cullen planted a trial acre of vines at Willyabrup in 1966. The encouraging results of this led to the planting of 18acres of vines on the sheep and cattle farm in 1971, including their first Cabernet Sauvignon vines. Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Semillon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc were planted between 1976 and 1978. Cullen Wines has since evolved into an estate specialising in single vineyard, premium quality wines focussed on wine integrity, rather than rapid expansion.
