Description

Mulline is the creation of two Ben’s, Mullen and Hine who set out to showcase exciting single site expressions from the Geelong region with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir at the centre of this. Ben Mullen heads up the winemaking and prior to setting up Mulline cut his teeth at the likes of Domaine Dujac, Yarra Yering, Oakridge, Leeuwin Estate, Torbreck & Craggy Range before returning to deep dive into the diversity of Geelong’s terroir whilst at Clyde Park. Geelong geographically is a large GI and has a lot of diversity in both soil and climate, evident in Mulline’s single vineyard wines. From the ‘by the sea’ Portarlington vineyard east of the Geelong CBD exposed to Port Phillip Bay to the warmer clay dominant Sutherland Creek vineyard North West towards Ballarat.

“Such excellence never springs out of nowhere, and that’s certainly the case with Mulline. Clearly there are some fantastic vineyard resources in play here but the person who makes the wine – Ben Mullen – could not come more highly credentialed.” Campbell Mattinson, Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion
WINNER – Best Value Winery 2025 – Halliday’s Australiain Wine Companion 
About this wine: 100% Sauvignon Blanc from Brown Magpie Vineyard, Modewarre, Surf Coast. Home of the iconic Great Ocean Road, spectacular coastline, rainforests and beaches. Higher rainfall, long summer days and cooling ocean winds.
Clone F4V6 planted 2002 on Sandy Loam with Clay, Estuary Marl and Limestone. The fruit was handpicked, cooled overnight before being whole bunch pressed directly to 2 320L barrels with full solids.  The wine was fermented in a cold room with wild yeast.  The wine then went through 100% Malolactic Fermentation.  Both barrels are Cigre shaped made by Cavin.  50% of the wine went to new French Oak with the other 50% went to second use French Oak.  The wine sat in oak for 8 months before being blended then bottled on the 4th November 2023. 13% alc.
97 points, Philip Rich, 2025 Halliday Australian Wine Companion “From a single vineyard on the Surf Coast. Whole-bunched pressed into two 320L ‘cigar barrels’ (50% new), 100% mlf. A vibrant green gold. A bright and engaging bouquet with aromas of perfectly ripe white peach, herbs, flint and a hint of vanillin. Chalky textured, precise and very long. A superb barrel-fermented sauvignon blanc and an excellent addition to this ever growing range!”
94 points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front “There’s steel to this wine, bite, fruit power and noteworthy length. It’s a cutting wine but it’s also a wine that takes command of the glass. It tastes of gravels, stones, woodsmoke, thistles and grasses, its fruit notes in the apple and guava area. Aromatically it’s complex, with earthen notes, but it’s the palate that really sizzles. All this wine needs to show its best is another 6-12 months in bottle; if not longer.”
