Cullen Wines is an Australian winery based in Wilyabrup, within the Margaret River wine region of Western Australia. ==History== Trial vines were planted on one acre of land by Diana and Kevin Cullen on their Wilyabrup property in 1966 after having read advice and received encouragement from Dr John Gladstones, who believed the Margaret River was ideal for planting vines due to a similarity he saw with the climate and soils of Bordeaux. The trials were promising, and 17 acres of vineyards were planted in 1971, with the business founded under the name ''"Willybrup Wines"''.〔 The first grape vines planted were Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling and Gewürztraminer.〔〔 Kevin Cullen was given the Western Australian "Citizen of the year" for "The Professions" in 1993, and was inducted as a Member of the Order of Australia in 1994 for "service to medicine" and service "to the wine industry". He died in 1994.〔(THE SENATE - MATTERS OF PUBLIC INTEREST - Cullen, Dr Kevin and Mrs Diana )〕 Diana Cullen was inducted as a Member of the Order of Australia in 2000 for "service to the development of viticulture and the wine industry". She died in 2003.〔 Vanya Cullen, the daughter of Diana and Kevin, took over the wine making role in 1989〔〔 after graduating from Roseworthy College with an Oenology degree in 1986,〔 and is the current managing director and senior winemaker.〔 Prior to undertaking the Oenology degree, in 1982 she graduated from the University of Western Australia with a degree in zoology.〔 Vanya Cullen received the "Australian Winemaker of the Year" award from Gourmet Traveller Wine magazine in 2000〔〔 and was voted "Woman of the Year" by UK based wine magazine The Drinks Business in 2008, becoming the first Australian to receive the award.
