Why you goThe Cullens are Margaret River royalty. One of the region’s first families of wine, the Cullens helped rally early interest in establishing a local grape-growing industry before planting their first vineyard in 1971. Those vines are still there, alongside marri and peppermint trees, only they’re now joined by a charming stone and timber cellar door that epitomises Cullen’s earthy spirit. The estate doesn’t just look green, but also acts green, too: the property operates on solar and wind power, the entire operation is certified carbon-positive, and the vines are tended according to biodynamic principles, a farming approach based on moon cycles and organic preparations.
