Vintage Notes

The 2021 vintage was marked by low yields, ensuring that the crop was harvested at optimal ripeness and in ideal condition. Although bird pressure was high and unpredictable rainfall during the growing season and throughout harvest presented challenges, the artisanal nature of our wines prevailed.

Wines of excellent balance and fruit purity, a vintage similar to 2003 in style. Best varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.
Tasting Notes

The 2021 vintage was marked by low yields, ensuring that the crop was harvested at optimal ripeness and in ideal condition. This vintage highlights the highest quality, setting the tone for the Cullen's commitment to excellence.
Wilyabrup saw a timely harvest, especially for the Sauvignon Blanc, which showed excellent physiological ripeness. A single block of old-vine Sauvignon Blanc from the Cullen Vineyard was hand-harvested on a Flower Day in early March. Afterward, the wine underwent two days of skin contact before being pressed and matured in 50% new oak for five months. The wine was bottled without fining or filtration, preserving its purity and expression.
