Cullen Amber

An amber hued (or "Orange") wine from one of Western Australia's iconic producers, Cullen.

The wine is described as 'Amber' due to it's colour, which is a result of the wine being made from white grape varietals which are left in contact with their skins over a longer period of time (maceration), a practice typically reserved for red wine production. This extended maceration extracts enhanced levels of colour pigments (hence the amber colour), tannin and flavour compounds.

For Cullen, who have blended Semillon (41%) with Sauvignon Blanc (59%) the result is a complex wine, with lemon, kumquat, orange blossom and floral aromas. Textured and concentrated on the palate, this is a wine with great length and persistence.
