| Description: |
 |
The Margaret River Chardonnay from Cullen is a bight and youthful green gold colour, with a complex nose of tropical fruit, nougat, lemon citrus and vanillin oak. The intense fruit characters, so delightfully expressed on the nose, flow through on to the palate where they are beautifully integrated with the subtle oak. There is a silky texture and the finish is refined and long. Vanya Cullen has adopted biodynamic techniques in the past few years as she feels this gives better flavours in her grapes, flavours that reflect the vineyard characteristics. The fruit was picked at perfect physiological ripeness at Baumés ranging from 12.4 to 13.7º, producing an average of just over 13º Baumé, which is relatively low for an Australian Chardonnay. 70% of the wine was fermented using wild yeasts, which contributes to the subtle mouth feel of this wine. This component was matured for just five months in new French oak to ensure that, while oak still had an influence, it remained in the background. 30% of the wine was prevented from undergoing malolactic fermentation, which facilitates the retention of both freshness and natural acidity; meaning that no acid is required to be added to achieve this wines style. This is without doubt one of Australia’s finest Chardonnays. The wine will be available sealed under stelvin so that it can be enjoyed free from cork taint and in perfect condition.
