- TASTING NOTE: "Salted pineapple, jalapeño, chamomile flower, sugar snap pea, gooseberry, jasmine tea and white currants form the core of this wine. It is salty, savoury and spiced; driven by a strong undercurrent of phenolic structure" Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion
- ABOUT THE WINE: This wine represents the fun and joyful side of Biodynamics. A refreshing blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon with a touch of Chenin, to be enjoyed with friends while… dancing in the sun. Made from certified biodynamic fruit, harvested on the fruit and flower days of the biodynamic calendar and fermented without oak, additions of yeast or acid. Some skin contact time before fermentation
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Cullen is a legendary, Margaret River producer. Diana and Kevin Cullen were THE Margaret River pioneers back in the late 60’s planting a trial acre of vines at Wilyabrup in 1966. The encouraging results of this led to the planting of 18 acres of vines in 1971, including their first Cabernet vines. Daughter Vanya Cullen, took over the winemaking in 1989. Cullen’s vineyards are biodynamically grown with Cullen becoming the first vineyard and winery in Australia to be certified carbon neutral, requiring the calculation of all of the carbon used and carbon dioxide emitted in the winery; the carbon is then offset by the planting of new trees. There is a restaurant onsite which overlooks the historic vineyard and in keeping with the biodynamic philosophies of the winery, 90% of the produce used in the kitchen is grown onsite in 5 separate biodynamic gardens. The wines have received many significant accolades and awards over the years with the Diana Madeline considered by many to be Australia’s greatest Bordeaux blend.
