Although the Mangan Vineyard had become ten years old in 2006 and was clearly producing very high quality fruit from its gravelly soils, it was becoming increasingly evident that the characteristics of that fruit differed from that grown on the more loamy soils of the Cullen Vineyard.
Thus, in 2007, Cullen Wines decided to produce separate blends of the two great Bordeaux white varieties from their Mangan and Cullen Vineyards.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Excellent pale straw colour
Bouquet: Attractive lime aromas, with a touch of tropical fruit and minerality that is given extra complexity through the use of indigenous yeast
Palate: Fresh and mouth-filling citrus flavours are complemented by a subtle lanolin character, with a piercing line of acid running through the palate and binding the structure of this wine together.
Cellaring: Already drinking very well, but will develop further complexity for five years and live for far longer.
Food: Crustaceans, fish and mild Asian cuisine
No recommended products at the moment.
