Our new vintage of Merlot is elegant and refined.  Aromatics of blackberry and raspberry bramble fruits are mirrored on the palate, layered with rich dark chocolate notes. This wine finishes with a lingering spicy note with a hint of toasted oak that invite you back for another sip. 

Only the second release of single-varietal Malbec from Culmina's Arise Bench vineyard this is a classically-styled expression of Malbec. Bursting with red cherries and baking spices with notes of cassis, black plum and violet this juicy and round wine has charm while delivering both structure and drinkability.

A classic expression of Cabernet Franc with a complex bouquet of cherry and raspberry accented by sage and lavender. The intricate palate is bursting with bright red fruits balanced by fine tannins and mouthwatering acidity. Vibrant and structured, the long finish has notes of plum, cocoa powder and tobacco leaf. 

A classic expression of Cabernet Sauvignon with aromas of ripe blackberry, cassis complemented by well integrated oak spice. The refined palate is mouth-coating with a supple texture.  Flavours of black currant, clove and cocoa powder build in intensity throughout the long finish. 

The third in the Number Series, Culmina's Nº 003 En Coteaux Riesling is Culmina's first ever single varietal release from Stan's Bench. Left on the vine to hang well into the Autumn season, the wine has been modelled similar to the first release in the Number Series, N° 001, release in an effort to highlight the distinct terroir differences between two of Culmina's vineyard benches.

The fourth in the Number Series, Culmina's Nº 004 Stan's Bench Chardonnay is Culmina's first ever single varietal Chardonnay release from Culmina's middle elevation vineyard, Stan's Bench. Made using minimal winemaking inputs and undergoing 100% indigenous yeast fermentation, this wine was racked into neutral French oak barrels and left 'malic' as it aged for 9 months on lees before bottling. 

The fifth in the Number Series, Culmina’s N° 005 Süsser Riesling is Culmina’s first German-style Riesling, made from a portion of X2 on Margaret’s Bench. Produced entirely from the Weiss Clone (21), N° 005 offers a more medium-sweet or Süsser sweetness profile to contrast to that of Culmina’s iconically dry Decora.

Made with four Bordeaux-Red varieties all sourced directly from Culmina's estate vineyards, the 2017 R&D Red Blend is a perfumed and richly layered blend of exceptional quality from the Golden Mile Bench.

R&D Rosé Blend is a fresh, elegant, delicately styled rosé of exceptional quality from the Golden Mile Bench. 

R&D Dry•ish Riesling is an exceptionally well-balanced, fresh, vibrant, and nearly dry Riesling from the Golden Mile Bench.
