Log in / Sign up Cullen Metricup Chardonnay 2024
The new Chardonnay is from the Metricup area and comes with authentic sustainable credentials from a certified organic vineyard in conversion to biodynamic. Planted in 1998 the vineyard is located on the border of Wilyabrup.
This wine exhibits beautiful nectarine citrus fruit flavours and has been made in the Chablis style using little oak and cool fermentations to retain the fruit. The seashell label pertains to the influence of the ocean in Margaret River wine growing and the simplicity and beauty of the natural world in our biodynamic winemaking. It is completely different in concept to the Kevin John’s in place and style but made without additions of yeast acidity and anything else.
Hand harvested on flower days between 23rd and 25th January.
Vegan Suitable, Certified Organic.
Serve with fresh marron or whiting.
Light gold tinges. Floral with notes of white flowers, elder flower and concentrated fruit, Fresh picked nectarines, sweet chamomile, nashi pear, quince and citrus rind.
There’s an abundance of bound ripe fruit, Anjou pear, yellow peaches, red apple skins and citrus curd. Fresh acidity and gentle phenolics envelope around the rich fruit core of the wine. It’s elegant in style, showing a fresh and clean finish. The wine is supported by mineral characters of crushed seashells and coastal salinity that are, for the time being, gently hidden beneath the rich fruit power of the wine, waiting patiently to expand as the wine evolves in the bottle.
