The fruit for this wine is grown on Cullens own vineyards and it is made predominantly from the traditional Bordeaux blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, and is bottled in a Bordeaux bottle. However, the wine does contain a small amount of Chardonnay and this has added complexity and a touch of richness to the middle palate, without changing the basic structure of the wine. Showing a straw colour with green tinges it has a complex blend of fresh custard apple, lemon and lime aromas. On the palate it is vibrant, rich, round and complex, reflecting the range of varieties in the blend with the Chardonnay providing citric flavours through to the great acid finish. (6 x 75 cl)

'This is a great wine and a cellaring treasure. It's velvety across the sensual spectrum from the mashed blackberries and Swiss chocolate sensual nose through to the palate overflowing with dark berry fruit and darker chocolate. There's a bounty of beautifully soft tannins.' Bill Thompson,The Sunday Times. (12 x 75 cl)
