Details
Cullen haven't always made a Rosé! But boy are we happy they do now, it's a wine that will make you want to dance under a pretty moonlight sky. This has such a pretty colour too; fresh aromatics, rose water, strawberry and delicate herbal notes. Wonderfully balanced and seamless, and with just the right balance between silk and pucker on the finish. Superb, and a little too easy to sip!

The history of Cullen Wines reads a little bit like the quintessential story of Margaret River itself. Kevin and Diana Cullen, a pair of farmers struggling with the future of their livestock business, decided to look back into their family trees - only to discover they have a winemaking heritage in Australia which stretches back over a century. Suddenly, their prime plot of lush Margaret River land begins to look a lot like it could be a beautiful collection of vineyards… and a key player in the burgeoning Aussie wine scene that the region has taken to world-beating levels of excellence. However, the Cullen family were never ones to take the easy route, and understood that hard work, a close relationship with the land, and a sustainable approach were always going to bring the best results. Vanya Cullen is the custodian and legendary winemaker wh explores finding the best in her land - applying biodynamic farming as an approach, and discovering that this unorthodox method was the one which just works. After fifty years, with the new generation in Vanya at the helm, the same philosophy that inspired her parents Kevin and Diana remains resolute. As a winery at the peak of its powers, the fine French varietals grown on their beautiful Wilyabrup vineyard continue to be a testament to a truly bold and singular vision. Long may it continue.

Pairing guide
This blushing pink wine is the perfect choice for a picnic, lunch on a terrace, or dinner party on a balmy evening. With its soft fruit flavours, it's a particularly good wine to pair with vegan salads and noodle dishes, and will love being matched up with stewed tomato pasta sauces and ragù-based classics like a meat-free lasagne. Veggie sausages cooked over coals, spicy crispy tofu and collard greens and cornbread are other fantastic options to try.
