Margaret River
Located on the most south-westerly point of Australia, the Margaret River region sprang to life during the 1960s and 1970s as a result of Professor Harold Olmo’s and Dr John Gladstone’s research into its viticultural potential. Vasse Felix was planted in 1967, Moss Wood in 1970 and Cullen in 1971; since then the plantings have grown exponentially, and the number of wineries has increased six-fold.

Some tempered classic Semillon notes of fleshy white fruit, coupled with floral hints on the nose. That lovely white fruit again on the palate, crisp acidity from the 14% Sauvignon Blanc content, keeps everything in check, taut and mineral. A bit more richness then comes through on the finish, ripe yellow plums and the tell-tale Semillon hint of boiled sweets. Good depth and breadth and nice length.

The first vintage and to date only release of this special cuvée is produced only in the most exceptional vintages and is named for the daughter of the founders and self-confessed Cabernet enthusiast, Vanya Cullen. The fruit for this wine is sourced only from the oldest vines of the Cullen’s own vineyards planted in 1971. Strictly and passionately grown according to organic and biodynamic principles it is this meticulous attention to detail that has produced a wine of extraordinary precision, purity and finesse. Just 3% Petit Verdot supports the Cabernet here whose tell-tale attributes are evident in spades throughout. Masses of cassis, brambles and damson lead an unfurling nose to milk chocolate, café latte and cinnamon. A hit of menthol provides reassurance of the wines unashamed Australian heritage. Layers upon layers of flavour on the palate bound by cool-climate tannins are guarantee if it were needed of this wines long future. An exciting debut of a new Australian icon.

Vanya Cullen’s low-cropping, 28-hectare, dry-grown estate is a riot of colour and biodiversity. She is convinced that biodynamic principles have shaped the quality, character and consistency of the fruit. Her devotion to “quality, integrity and sustainability” in both the vineyards and winery has resulted in something extraordinary and special.
This is a masterclass on Margaret River Cabernet. As always, it’s elegant on the nose with cassis, mocha, espresso bean and finely sharpened pencil. Medium-bodied, the palate presents small-berried fruit with a clean acid structure, balanced by fine graphite tannins. The finish is mesmerizingly long, concentrated and yet lifted on the palate. This is pulsating with life. Drink to 2025.

The flagship “Bordeaux blend” from Cullen Wines does not disappoint. There is a wonderful perfume of cassis, undergrowth, graphite tones. The palate is medium bodied, reflecting the cool climate of Margaret River and is full of macerated blackcurrant & redcurrant fruit, spice and hint of crushed peppercorn. Finely grained and savoury tannins with a lovely, lifted acidity. Keep for another two years and drink over the next 10.

Moss Wood,
Ready, but will keep,
Classically Australian Semillon straight off the bat – lime zest, beeswax and even a touch of hay. Very taut on the palate with the citric element continuing to dominate at this stage but I expect the lanolin note and density will come through with some additional age. Very zippy at the moment, but this will mellow and flesh out over time. Another fine example from Moss Wood and further proof you can look beyond the Hunter Valley for Semillon. Drink 2018 to 2022+.
