Sitting upon the ancient soils of Wilyabrup is Cullen Wines. Cullen Wines follows the maxim that states that great wines are made in the vineyard. The Cullen winemaking approach is about connecting and working with nature to make the best quality wines they can. With a deep respect for the land, Cullen Wines have been pioneers of biodynamic viticulture and were the Australia’s first Carbon Neutral Organic Biodynamic Winery. At the helm is Vanya Cullen, whose passion and innovation has transformed Cullen Winery into one of Australia’s best boutique wineries.

Ray Jordan

Ray Jordan has been writing about wine for more than 40 years. His first articles were published in the early issues of the national wine magazine Winestate in the late 1970s when he worked in Sydney as a newspaper correspondent. From 1989 Ray wrote more than 3000 columns as a regular newspaper wine columnist. He currently writes a regular column for the special business publication Business News and is one of the main contributors to the national wine platform Wine Pilot. He also contributes special wine commentary to 3AW in Melbourne and 6PR in Perth.

 In 2017 Ray co-authored The Way it Was – A History of The Early Days of the Margaret River Wine Industry and previously wrote Wine in the Blood: Australia’s Family Wine Estates, published in Mandarin and English. In 2011 Ray was awarded the WA Wine Press Club Jack Mann Memorial Medal for his contribution to the WA wine industry. 

His love of wine is as strong as his love of the blues and tasting the thousands of wines that cross his bench each year allows him to indulge in both.
