“The shift in understanding sustainability, particularly organic and biodynamic practices, has evolved from being viewed suspiciously, to a genuine marker of quality and distinctiveness in fine wines.”
The AUSTRALIAN
Vanya Cullen (Cullen Margaret River) is a champion of biodynamic winemaking. It is great to see these practices correlated to wine quality in Langton’s classification of Australian wines.
“The shift in understanding sustainability, particularly organic and biodynamic practices, has evolved from being viewed suspiciously, to a genuine marker of quality and distinctiveness in fine wines.
Pioneering viticulturists, such as Vanya Cullen (Cullen Wines, Margaret River) and Julian Castagna (Castagna Wines, Beechworth), have been pivotal in driving this shift. Vanya Cullen has been a trailblazer in sustainable practices, most notably in biodynamics. Their dedication to sustainable viticulture has become a hallmark of their brands, and their wines showcase the benefits — wines with heightened expression of terroir, exceptional purity, and a unique sense of place. Indeed, the wines have never been better.”
