[SOLD-OUT] Cullen Kevin John Chardonnay 2020

 

"KJ continues its exceptional form. Glorious wine. The sample came with a very interesting Wadandi six seasons guide which reflects the movement of work at Cullen too. A very good document and worth seeking out from Cullen.

Cruises across the palate with such beauty and form, a subtle richness, that saline mineral freshness these wines get, licks of nougat savouriness and a cavalcade of just ripe stone fruit, pulpy grapefruity freshness and green apple. Lovely perfume too, flint, lots of spice, more of the nutty-savouriness, stone fruit and green apple again. It feels powerful but the drinkability is through the roof too. Outstanding in every sense, such an impact as you drink it; class, energy, detail in spades." - Mike Bennie, Wine Front

 

"The 2020 Kevin John is made from the Wente Clone planted in 1976 on Cullen Vineyard. The soil is forest grove and mostly southerly slope or level. The vines are certified biodynamic, and in 2020 produced a yield of 1.3 tonnes per hectare.

The harvest took place by hand on fruit and flower days of the biodynamic calendar. The grapes were whole bunch basket pressed to puncheons of which 50% were new. The natural fermentation, both primary and malolactic, took place with indigenous microflora. This wine spent 6 months in barrel and has had no fining, filtration or cold stabilisation." - Cullen
