Cullen Diana Madeline 2024 6pack 13.5% 750ml

TASTING NOTES

APPEARANCE

Deep mulberry, ripe cherry with purple hues, showing youth, and vitality.

AROMA

Violets and wild rose with mulberry, satsuma plum and cigar box, expanding into liquorice, cherry and chocolate, finished with iodine, ironstone and a hint of curry leaf.

PALATE

Elegant and perfumed, yet intense and highly attractive, showing beautiful fruit density, balance and opulent structure. Fine tannins expand gracefully across the palate, revealing layers of cassis, mulberry and cherry with rich cacao, lifted by floral rose notes and savoury plum. The back palate is wrapped in ironstone and cigar box, laced with cedar and sandalwood, finishing with grace, silk-like length and true finesse.

WINEMAKERS COMMENTS

Diana Madeline is the culmination of more than 50 years of dedication, care, and deep respect for the land. The vines, planted in 1971 on ancient gravelly granite soils, consistently produce a wine of great quality, elegance, perfume, and balance.

FOOD MATCHING

Wagyu sirloin with caramelised shallot and beef jus; roasted heirloom carrots with honey, thyme, and olive oil.

CELLARING POTENTIAL

Up to 50 years.

VINIFICATION

The fruit was hand-harvested across six pickings, beginning in mid-February and culminating a few weeks later on a Moon opposite Saturn astral event. Skin contact ranged from 15 to 78 days, before gentle basket pressing to barrel.

MATURATION

The wine then matured for an average of 14 months in oak, with 50% new oak, across a combination of biodynamic barriques and puncheons.

GRAPE VARIETY

90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec, 2% Merlot
