3-22 Cullen Winery

Tim has been so excited to come to this part of Western Australia as Margaret River area is known for its wineries.  So he has picked out several to go to and had made reservations to go to the Cullen Winery for a full on taste testing. 

Most of the grapes have been harvested.  But those remaining behind are covered with nets to protect them from the birds.

We had a full table to ourselves and a dedicated sommelier.  Though that might not be the correct word for what she does.

If you don't have a reservation, you taste at the bar.

The outdoor area was lovely.

If you look towards the left center of the photo you can see the display they had that explained their wine growing philosophy.

CullenWinery uses biodynamics to raise their grapes.  See for yourself.

They only pick the grapes on "fruit days" or "flower days".

I drink both three samples of the white and three samples of the red.  Actually there was a lot of spitting involved.  But we are next going to have a big lunch with paired wine next.
