Grown in the Ancient Soils of Wilyabrup


Founded in 1971 by Dr Kevin and Diana Cullen, Cullen Wines is a family-owned, biodynamic winery in the heart of Margaret River. For over fifty years, we have been guided by a deep respect for the land and a commitment to producing wines of integrity; capturing the purest expression of place in every bottle.

Our Core Values

Quality

Every wine begins in the vineyard. At Cullen, our vines are dry-farmed on ancient Wilyabrup soils, hand-pruned, and hand-harvested — producing low yields of intensely flavoured fruit. Winemaking is minimal intervention, using indigenous yeasts and no additions, allowing the land to speak for itself in every bottle.

Our Core Values

Integrity

For over fifty years, Cullen has been guided by one principle: do it properly or don't do it at all. From our biodynamic certification to our commitment to unfined, unfiltered wines, every decision is made with honesty and transparency. We don't take shortcuts, and we never will.

Our Core Values

Sustainability

Cullen was the first Australian winery to achieve carbon neutral certification. Our vineyard is powered by renewable energy, and our soils are nurtured through certified organic and biodynamic practices that have been refined since 2003. We dry farm both estates, apply biodynamic compost across the vineyard each year, and follow the Wadandi Six Seasons Calendar to guide our work on Country.

Critical Acclaim
"There are few winemakers in the world that transcend their vocations. The artistry of winemaking is rare, because ultimately shaping wine is really a craft. But Vanya adds a level of spirituality and belief that harnesses the natural forces of nature, a feeling of place and her creative imagination to produce something different and expressive."
— Andrew Caillard MW
"Vanya Cullen has been leading the way in sustainability in the Australian wine industry for many years, long before it became fashionable, and Cullen is a genuine global pioneer in sustainability practices."
— Jancis Robinson MW
"One of the great names in Margaret River and Australian wine. Cullen makes one of Australia's great Cabernets, and in recent years, its Chardonnays have been elevated to the top level."
— Ray Jordan
"Vanya's commitment to improving Cullen Wines while leaving the world a better place is reflected in the winery's carbon-neutral and naturally powered status."
— James Halliday

We acknowledge the Wadandi people of the region as the traditional custodians of the land, and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
