The Story

Cullen Wines regard this vintage of its Margaret River White as an outstanding expression of this wine style. The winemakers at Cullens went to considerable lengths to blend together, in the right proportion, fruit from all of the white grape varieties grown in the vineyard. The wine has been aturally fermented and given increased complexity through the maturation in oak of a quarter of the blend.
