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. Aromas of violet, sweet cherry, berry, bayleaf, a little beef stock and most attractive lead pencil oak with hints of asprin that some young screw-capped wines show. On the palate full bodied but very reserved and controlled with cherry, berry, clove, bayleaf and cedar flavours. Masses of mouthcoating firm tannins and noticeable cheek puckering acidity lay the foundations for decades of development. The wine is composed of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 5% Malbec, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Very deep crimson colour with deep crimson purple hue. Perfumed nose, with very spicy top note, delivering an impressive lift – aroma of violets, blackcurrant and cassis. The palate is firmly structured – this is possibly the most tight knit of the Cullen Cabernets that we’ve seen. The fine dry tannins are dominant and run right through the wine into the aftertaste. The blackcurrant and cassis flavours take a back seat for the time being – this is a wine that needs years to evolve.
