Crisp, fruity blend of Semillon and Sauvignon. Biodynamic and carbon neutral!
Tasting Notes:
A crisp, intensely fruity blend of 63% Semillon, 33% Sauvignon Blanc and 4% Chardonnay bottled with a screwcap to keep it fresh and aromatic. Refreshing, with hints of lemon and lime on the bouquet and an elderflower character on the palate, this is full-bodied but the zestiness keeps it from becoming heavy. Lovely length too. Ideal apéritif wine. Highly recommended. Not suitable for vegetarians.
More Information:
As ethical wines go, this has to be pretty much at the top of the tree as it is certified biodynamic and organic AND carbon neutral! Plus, to top it all, the wines are excellent quality, so big ticks all round. What does it mean to be carbon neutral? Well, Cullen vineyards pay a premium to purchase electricity from renewable resources and they also compensate for all winery CO2 emissions from use of fossil fuels through funding planting of trees in the wheat belt of Western Australia. More importantly though in terms of quality is their biodynamic practice in the vineyard and the winery. Nurturing soil fertility, understanding nature's rhythms and intervening as little as possible in the winery, the concentration in their wines sings through. Using wild yeasts, no additions, minimal oak and finings, this is natural wine at its finest. This wine is named after Ellen Bussell, the first European settler to the area in 1855 and one of Margaret River's most remarkable women.
