Cullen Red Moon offers a distinctive Australian interpretation of Malbec from the celebrated vineyards of Margaret River. Blending Malbec's generous plum, mulberry and dark-berry fruit with the structure of Petit Verdot, it combines vibrant flavours, floral aromas and refreshing acidity with fine but purposeful tannins. Juicy and expressive, it delivers impressive depth without sacrificing balance.
Produced by Vanya Cullen at one of Australia's pioneering biodynamic estates, Red Moon reflects a commitment to carefully grown fruit and minimal-intervention winemaking. Its combination of fruit purity, freshness and savoury complexity makes it a fascinating choice for Malbec enthusiasts looking beyond Argentina, particularly those who appreciate wines with character and a distinctive sense of place.
Nose: Vibrant aromas of plum, mulberry and dark berries, accompanied by floral notes and a delicate hint of spice.
Palate: Juicy dark-cherry and berry flavours with a plush fruit texture, refreshing acidity and fine but defined tannins. Subtle savoury and mineral notes add complexity.
Finish: Fresh and persistent, with lingering dark fruit, gentle spice and a structured, balanced conclusion.
Cullen Red Moon comes from Margaret River in Western Australia, a region known for its maritime-influenced climate and ability to produce wines with ripe fruit, freshness and well-defined structure. The wine is produced by Cullen Wines, established by Kevin and Diana Cullen in 1971 and now led by their daughter, Vanya Cullen.
The estate's vineyards are certified biodynamic and managed with a strong emphasis on soil health, biodiversity and minimal intervention. The vines are dry-grown, encouraging deep root development and a close relationship between the vines and their growing environment.
Red Moon brings together Malbec and Petit Verdot, two varieties with complementary characteristics. Malbec contributes juicy plum and berry fruit, colour and a plush texture, while Petit Verdot adds structure, tannin definition and savoury complexity.
The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented with indigenous yeasts. Careful extraction and maturation in French oak help integrate the wine's structure while preserving its expressive fruit. The result is a vibrant, fruit-rich red with freshness, balance and a distinctive regional personality.
Cullen Red Moon pairs particularly well with roast lamb, grilled beef and slow-cooked meat dishes. Its juicy fruit and defined tannins also make it an appealing partner for duck, roasted vegetables and richly flavoured mushroom dishes.
Try it with herb-roasted lamb or grilled aubergine with smoky spices. The wine's dark fruit complements the savoury flavours, while its freshness helps balance the richness of the dish.
Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Allowing it a little time in a generous glass can help reveal its floral aromas and layered fruit character.
