2008 MARGARET RIVER WHITE

 
back    
   

This
wine is essentially a replacement for the Ellen Bussell White wine and
is made entirely from fruit grown on Cullens own vineyards. As it is made
predominantly from the traditional Bordeaux blend of Sauvignon Blanc and
Semillon, it 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.
