2017 Cullen Mangan Vineyard Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon

Cullen Wines is a certified biodynamic, carbon-neutral, and naturally powered estate and is one of the oldest and most awarded family wineries in Western Australia’s famous Margaret River region. First established in 1971 by Dr Kevin and Diana Cullen, the winery has built an outstanding reputation for biodynamic wines that receive great acclaim.

This wine is the classic white grape blend synonymous with the Bordeaux region of France but with new-world ripeness of fruit.   The grapes work so well together because Sémillon brings body and rounds out Sauvignon Blanc’s tart acidity and herbal notes.  It is complex and richly textured, full of tropical pineapple, guava, and freshly cut grass aromas, from the Cullens’ exceptional biodynamically farmed Mangan Vineyard in Wilyabrup, Margaret River.  On the nose complex aromas of gooseberries and citrus fruit combine with freshly cut grass. The palate has intense citrus fruit notes of lemon and lime rounded out by honeydew melon. These pure fruit flavours are sustained on a long savoury finish.
