Cullen Pet Nat New Moon Organic Chenin Blanc 2018
Cullen
In the Australian wine industry, few names are so revered as Cullen out of Western Australia's Margaret River. From its inception in 1966 by Dr. Kevin and Diana Cullen, this winery has seen only premium viticulture and winemaking practices in order to produce equally exceptional wines. First planted in 1971, the site now totals over 18 acres of vineyards planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Semillon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. In 1989 Diana Cullen handed the winemaking reins over to her daughter Vanya, who continues to hold that position in addition to Managing Director.
With the goal to express the vineyard character through its wines, Vanya converted to biodynamic viticulture and uses a minimal intervention approach; the vines are dry-grown and low yielding in order to produce intensely flavored grapes. All pruning and harvesting is done by hand and fermentation occurs using natural yeasts. In addition to it being biodynamic, Cullen is also a Carbon Neutral and a naturally powered estate, respecting the environment to sustaining the land for many years to come.

2018 was one of the great vintages for Wilyabrup and Cullen Wines.
The fruit for this wine was picked on a new moon in early February 2018. It is a “pétillant naturel” based on the méthode ancestrale, with the wine bottled before the end of the first fermentation. With no additions, no preservatives and fermented with indigenous yeast, each bottle is unique and ever-changing, just as a natural wine should be.
This is fun, spritzy and dangerously drinkable! Another home run from Vanya Cullen and co.
