2022 Tom Cullity Cellaring Case

Tom’s old vine Houghton clone Cabernet blocks (H,I,J & L) are grown on original roots, in the ancient gravel loam soils of Vasse Felix’s Home Vineyard site by the Wilyabrup Brook. In their maturity, Tom’s blocks ride through the challenges of vintage to reflect the beauty of the seasonal conditions. Comprising three different row orientations on a gentle slope overlooking the Estate, Tom’s old vine blocks represent a thorough representation of the Cabernet vintage through this special reference point, with each differing aspect contributing unique characters to each block. With vine roots set deep into the clay depth for ongoing access to water, our job is to nourish their health with sustainable viticulture practices to preserve the vines that are of such historical significance to the Margaret River wine region.
