Light green in colour with creamy tinges. The nose is brimming with notes of elderflower, white flower, jasmine, gardenia, lemons, grapefruit and passionfruit. The palate is vibrant with lively acidity and zesty characters of kaffir lime, kumquat and pink grapefruit. It shows layers of complexity with unctuous juicy fruit and the texture of pear and pink apple.

This wine honours Elvie Clarke, mother of Kevin John Cullen. Elvie Alice Clarke was a gifted pianist, enchanting story teller and staunch supporter of the suffragette movement. The fruit is sourced from the 22ha Mangan vineyard, which is located adjacent to the Cullen vineyard in Wilyabrup. It was planted to Sauvignon and Semillon in 1995. Soils consist of old granite and sandy loam over lateritic subsoils with clay around one metre below the surface. The vines have vertical shoot positioning, are cane and spur pruned, dry farmed and cultivated using organic and biodynamic methods.
