Cullen Red Moon 2024

From the Mangan vineyard, this is harvested on the night of a red moon – which happens during “a total lunar eclipse when the light filtering through the Earth’s atmosphere dapples the moon in red light”. The blend is 33% Malbec, 23% Grenache, 22% Mourvedre, 17% Petit Verdot and 5% Merlot, which spent eight months in old oak. A joy to drink while young, but it has legs. A vibrant colour, this is still youthful and very fresh. We have aromas weaving through plums, blackcurrants, chocolate and dried herbs with hints of coffee grinds. A brightly flavoured style, with medium length and sleek tannins, there is a fine line of zesty acidity. Perfect for your next gourmet barbecue.
