Cullen Amber 2024

2024 vintage notes from Vanya - This year’s Amber is a blend of 66% Sauvignon Blanc and 34% Semillon from the Cullen Vineyard. Hand-picked fruit was crushed to open fermenters for ferment to pick up colour and vitality from the skins. The wine was then matured in 75% new oak for 7 months. The result is fresh and vibrant, with an alluring complexity from skin contact fermentation that will continue to develop with bottle age.

Clean citrus notes of grapefruit and orange blossom lined with a firm fresh Mediterranean spice and Negroni, the backbone evokes a ripe and persistent stone fruit and clean nectarine.  Bright minerality and savory acidity supported with a firm multilayer fruit density showing concentrated blood orange, pink grapefruit and fresh spices of wild thyme. The finish is silky and poised with clean liquorice notes in the back palate.

Enjoy with mediterranean grazing board, Gorgonzola blue cheese or a rich fish curry.
