Vintage Notes

Vintage 2024 in Margaret River was exceptional! The combination of early harvest, warm conditions and abundant sunshine created the perfect environment for grapes to reach optimal ripeness quickly. The bonus of a vibrant marri flowering season helping to keep the birds away.

Tasting Notes

Ephraim Mayo Clarke, Kevin John Cullen’s grandfather, property owner and Member of Parliament, who established the first winery in the southwest in Bunbury in 1896. Hand harvested grapes of the best blocks of biodynamically certified Mangan Vineyard Malbec and Petit Verdot were naturally fermented and basket pressed and then matured in 30% new oak for 8 months.

The resultant blend is 76% Malbec and 24% Petit Verdot. A naturally fermented wine with no additions other than minimal sulphur dioxide to catch the terroir of Mangan vineyard in Wilyabrup. The 2024 vintage was exceptional as this wine shows. As a magnum release, this wine is perfect for sharing with family and friends.
