Philosophy

Quality, Integrity, Sustainability.

Committed to biodynamic viticulture, Cullen Wines has evolved into an iconic winery that has always been focused on quality, integrity and sustainability at all levels of the business.
 
Biodynamics

Put simply, biodynamic viticulture is a philosophy combining the maintenance of sustainable soil fertility and the recognition of the link between plant growth and the rhythms of the cosmos.

It is a method of farming that treats the vineyard as a living system, which interacts with the environment to build a healthy living soil that helps to nourish the vines and general environment.

Carbon Neutral

Australia's first Carbon Neutral Organic Biodynamic Winery.

"We are so lucky to be in such a beautiful location here in WA. The wonderful soil gives us our extraordinary wines, so it's important for us to know we are caring for the earth and doing no harm in what we do. It’s become a way of life for us. We are very excited that other wineries are also choosing to become Carbon Neutral, as this is a significant commitment and we applaud their efforts." - Vanya Cullen.

Viticulture

Cullen follows the maxim that states that great wines are made in the vineyard.

Thus, prior to planting, extreme care is taken in choosing the best possible site. Fruit for all Cullen Wines is sourced exclusively from two vineyards, The Cullen Estate Vineyard and the Cullen Mangan Vineyard, both certified A Grade Biodynamic by the Biological Farmers Association (BFA) of Australia.

From the ground up
“Wine can only be as good as the grape, the role of the winemaker is to act as caretaker to the fruit”
 
Biodynamic Wine Growing

The Cullen winemaking approach is about connecting and working with nature to make the best quality wines we can.

Certified biodynamic, we add 500 preparation to our soil to create microbiologically active, intelligent soil. We harvest the grapes on auspicious planetary aspects, usually about the moon, and press them in the winery with no additions at all. This is the purest form of wine making with
respect to place, on some of the oldest, most beautiful land.
