CULLEN WINES Diana Madeline Cabernet Merlot, Margaret River 2014 Bottle
About this wine
Diana Madeline Cabernet Merlot is one of Australia's defining Cabernets with its beautiful fruit definition, refined tannin structure and remarkable resonance of place.
Typically the Cabernet component is pristine with classic tannin structures and the Merlot is plummy and soft. A small proportion of Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot add further complexity. The fruit is sourced from estate owned biodynamically farmed vineyards. Between 10 and 50% of the wine is partially barrel fermented; the rest is given extended maceration before further maturation in 30% new, tightly-grained French oak.
The colours are vibrant and inky and the aromas beautifully pitched with blackcurrant pastille, dark cherry fruit and violet camomile notes. Palate structures are supple, fine grained and lacy with plenty of plummy/ cassis flavours and savoury/ cedar new oak. While the wine is seductive when young, it has a reputation for developing further complexity while maintaining lively, dark fruits on the palate.

Cullen
In 1966 Diana and Dr Kevin Cullen planted a trial 0.4 ha vineyard on their sheep and cattle property at Willyabrup in the Margaret River. A new vineyard was planted in 1971 with further plantings made over the subsequent decades. Winemaker and environmentalist Vanya Cullen, a strong believer in biodynamic viticulture, has harnessed the rhythms of the cosmos, earth’s energy and vitality to "achieve greater individuality of site through working with nature rather than against it". Meticulous attention to vineyard management results in fruit of exceptional intensity, concentration, tannin ripeness and acid balance. The “quest for quality, integrity and sustainability” is also reflected in the carbon neutral and naturally powered winery where sound winemaking techniques and skills are married with empathy for vineyard character.
