STAFF PICKS 2025 - KAYLEEN RAYNOLDS
On arrival to the Cullen property in Wilyabrup, Margaret River, the smell of wild honey is in the air. There are butterflies, bright sunshine and an abundance of stunning biodiversity. I visited the winery and was treated to copious amounts of great wine and delicious local produce, and it was the Kevin John Chardonnay that left a mark on me.
I was lucky to try many vintages of the Kevin John (and Taittiner Comtes also!), including a bracket of 97, 07, 17. These wines age incredibly well.
The Cullen Kevin John is one of Australia's best chardonnays. It's full-flavoured but seamless, complex but also delicate. It expresses typicity, character and grace. 2024 proved challenging for some, but the Kevin John proves that great producers prevail where others can not. To quote James Suckling, "An excellent, unique and near-perfect chardonnay." Treat yourself or your loved ones this Christmas. KAYLEEN
Absolutely stunning. Complex, tightly wound and intense aromas of lemon peel, flint and crushed river stones with curry leaves, kaffir limes, white orchard fruit and salted nuts. The profound palate balances power and delicacy, supported by persistent, multidimensional acidity and structure. Iconic, made under unprecedented climatic conditions from the hottest, driest and earliest vintage in Margaret River. An excellent, unique and near-perfect chardonnay. One for the ages. (98) JAMES SUCKLING
The expressive 2024 Chardonnay Kevin John delivers a precise core of grapefruit and cantaloupe lifted by a touch of smoky gunflint and well-proportioned French oak. Good tension and zesty acidity support impressive layers of finely tuned flavours as gingery oak resonates through the silky finish of excellent length. This is a wine of delicacy and finesse.
