The Cullen Estate
Vineyard and Wines
In the
early 1960's detailed climatic studies of
various regions in Southwestern Australia
revealed that during the winegrowing
season, Margaret River's climate was
similar to that of Bordeaux, particularly
Pomerol. The conclusion that Margaret
River was ideal for viticulture was first
tested in Wilyabrup in 1966, when Diana
and Kevin Cullen planted a trial acre of
vines. The encouraging results led to the
couple planting 18 acres of vines on their
sheep and cattle farm in 1971.
Cullen
Wines while remaining family owned has
since evolved making quality wine from
biodynamically grown grapes sourced
exclusively from The Cullen Estate
Vineyard and Mangan
Vineyard.
The
flagship wines of the Cullen stable are:
Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, Chardonnay
Mangan and Diana Madeline Cabernet
Sauvignon Merlot . These wines can be
enjoyed now and will also benefit from
cellaring.
In his
book 'Wisdom of the West' Bertrand Russell
states that "Philosophy is as the Greeks
put it a kind of adventure undertaken for
its own sake."
The
vineyard site at Cullens was
carefully chosen for its potential to
produce great wine, and in particular red
wine.
The
philosophy of Cullen Wines is to
search for the best quality expression of
the vineyard in the wine. The maritime
climate, rocky soils, dry farming, and
biodynamic practices all help to create
individual and diverse winestyles which
are unique to Cullen.
