{"product_id":"cullen-cabernet-sauvignon-merlot-australie","title":"Cullen - Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot - 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated in the Margaret River region of southwest Western Australia, the Cullen estate benefits from a cool maritime climate tempered by the nearby Indian Ocean. The vines are planted in gravelly and sandy soils resting on a granite bedrock, providing natural drainage and excellent water regulation. The vineyard is managed using certified biodynamic farming practices, with meticulous attention to the soil and surrounding biodiversity. This approach aims to accurately express the character of the coastal terroir, marked by regular ocean breezes and a strong maritime influence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes come from certified biodynamic vineyards, are hand-harvested, and then carefully sorted before fermentation in open vats, using indigenous yeasts. Maceration is gentle, with manual pump-overs to extract color and fine tannins. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels, some of which are new, to refine the structure and add aromatic complexity, before being bottled at the estate without excessive filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eblackcurrant\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003eblackberry\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003eblack plum\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by \u003cstrong\u003efloral\u003c\/strong\u003e touches of violet and \u003cstrong\u003epeony\u003c\/strong\u003e , as well as \u003cstrong\u003espicy\u003c\/strong\u003e nuances of black pepper and clove.
