Cullen Wines Kevin John Legacy Series Solstice Sun chardonnay 2025

This Legacy Series has produced some quite wonderful wines, and this is yet another stunning example. In line with the biodynamic principles of Cullen, it was picked on a flower day and new moon in February. The bunches went into a clay amphora lined with beeswax for two days before pressing, and then it was transferred to a biodynamic flower day puncheon to complete the fermentation. So what does this mean? Well, it means it's a damn fine wine. Plenty of savoury, mineral-y, slightly honeycomb, lemon curd aromas. And then a palate that is so rich and textured, yet held with deft control, with a fine, precise acidity. The palate extends with effortless ease to such a sustained, long finish. Each time you dig back into it, you'll find something different. It's such a wonderful wine.
