2024 Cullen Grace Madeline Sauvignon Blanc Semillon

95 Points - Huon Hooke, The Real Review

“Ranked #1 of 17 2024 Sauvignon Blanc blends from Margaret River Very complex young wine, savoury, ripe and not very varietal. The sauvignon character has been tamed. Creamy lees, cashewnut aromas. Intense and powerful, compact, focused and dry without austerity. Excellent wine.”

95 Points - Jane Faulkner, Wine Companion

“It’s always a classy wine, a serious iteration of SBS forfeiting tropical fruit for texture, a light thread of phenolics, smoky/cedary/spicy oak and some funky flint. It’s all about the palate really, although there are plenty of citrus flavours – think grapefruit, Meyer lemon and pomelo. It’s ready now but this will only build more complexity in time.”

“Named in honour of Diana Madeline’s mother. This is about 85% sauvignon blanc and 15% semillon. About 63% of the savvy is matured in new French oak for 8 months. A very hot year, but the fruit has been handled well. It has good lively concentration with a tight rein on the palate from the oak and acid. Has a creamy middle palate with lively stone fruit and citrus and a minerally fine length.”
