Cullen is a Mattinson 10-Star Winery.
Only the best of Australia’s best wineries are ranked as a Mattinson 10-Star Winery.

Vanya Cullen is a unique talent on a special site; the result is greatness. Every year this estate produces elite Chardonnay and elite Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate is famed biodynamically, rigorously, carefully, thoughtfully. The wines of the Cullen estate have been outstanding for over forty years but under Vanya Cullen, quality has only risen. These wines – these structural, fresh, essential wines – handle the truth, speak the truth, are the truth.
