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, acid or malolactic culture, and are in this sense natural wines which express the place and land on which they are grown, the vintage and the people. The cool and even conditions that extended throughout summer and into autumn led to the production of some of the very best Cabernet Sauvignon fruit ever seen at the Cullen Estate Vineyard. Consequently, it was decided to invest this Bordeaux blend with a greater amount of this variety than usual. Thus, Cabernet Sauvignon contributes as much as 80% to this wine, with the remainder comprising 12% Merlot and 8% Petit Verdot. Mulberry red with crimson tinges, the bouquet is perfum ed, complex & seductive followed by an elegant, long & persistent palate, with rich blackcurrant cassis, wild berry & cherry characters perfectly integrated with the vanillin oak. Complete & perfectly balanced.
