Details:

This is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc. It has a stunningly good aroma - rich blackberry, cherry and chocolate. It is full-bodied, perfectly balanced, with ripe, complex fruit and good length. Rounded and smooth, with very soft tannins.

In the early 1960's detailed climatic studies of various regions in Southwestern Australia revealed that during the winegrowing season, Margaret River's climate was similar to that of Bordeaux, particularly Pomerol.

The conclusion that Margaret River was ideal for viticulture was first tested in Wilyabrup in 1966, when Diana and Kevin Cullen planted a trial acre of vines. The encouraging results led to the couple planting 18 acres of vines on their sheep and cattle farm in 1971.

Cullen Wines, while remaining family owned, has since evolved making quality wine from biodynamically grown grapes sourced exclusively from The Cullen Estate Vineyard and Mangan Vineyard.

This wine celebrates the life of Ellen Bussell, one of Margaret River's pioneering women. In 1857, while still a teenager, Ellen and her new husband Alfred were the first Europeans to settle in the central cape area of the Margaret River region. They built a small wattle and daub cottage in a location that the local aboriginals had told them was idyllic and perfect for farming. Alfred called their property Ellensbrook in honor of his wife. Their twelve children were raised on that property, which was farmed by descendants of Alfred and Ellen Bussell until the 1960s.
