Description
A complex and richly textured blend, full of tropical pineapple, guava and freshly cut grass aromas, from the Cullens' exceptional biodynamically farmed Mangan Vineyard in Wilyabrup, Margaret River. The Mangan vineyard is located adjacent to the Cullen vineyard in Wilyabrup. Soils consist of loams and gravels over lateritic subsoils with clay around one metre below the surface. The vines are cane and spur pruned, dry farmed and cultivated using biodynamic methods. On the nose complex aromas of gooseberries and citrus fruit combine with freshly cut grass. The textural palate has intense citrus fruit notes of lemon and lime rounded out by honeydew melon. These pure fruit flavours are sustained on a long savoury finish.Details
