2017 Cullen Red Moon Mangan Vineyard

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 red wine blend takes its name from the ‘Red Moon’ which occurs during a total lunar eclipse when the light filtering through the Earth’s atmosphere dapples the moon in red light. This penumbral lunar eclipse occurred on 11th February 2017 during harvest and this wine was renamed. The grapes are grown on a single vineyard in the Wilyabrup subregion of the Margaret River.  In this ‘Red Moon’ wine, the Malbec provides the fruit power and colour, the Petit Verdot the length and texture and the Merlot the structure.

A juicy and pure fruit-driven wine. A very attractive blend of plummy, cherry and spice flavours. Well balanced acidity.
