Culmina Family Estate Winery

The winemaking philosophy at Culmina revolves around two principles: gentle handling of fruit and minimal intervention of wine. Employing a combination of traditional practices (hand picking and sorting, and basket pressing) and leading-edge technologies (cone-shaped, stainless steel tanks) to preserve the beautiful, natural character of their wines. This isn't just an auction item. This is living history of Culmina's story, Saignee Rose (2024): Stonefruit flavours, lively acidity and a smooth, silky texture. No.024 Cabernet Franc (2022): This Cab Franc offers classic notes of cassis that are complemented by layered aromas of sandalwood, cloves, bay leaf and Okanagan garrigue. The dense palate combines rich, dark fruit flavours with spicy black pepper and savoury wild herbs. Fine grained tannins and structure ensure a complex and powerful finish. No.005 Susser Riesling (2017): Highly aromatic, this wine features a "fruit salad" with notes or white peach, ripe citrus, quince and honeydew melon, alongside subtle notes of honeycomb, white daisy and musk. The Number Series are premium wines of interest from a given vintage, some of which may only ever be released once. Each small lot is assigned its own unique numeral and is differentiated by terroir characteristics along with innovative viticultural and winemaking techniques. Given the very limited availability of these distinctive wines, priority access is given to Wine Club members.
