Cullen Diana Madeline 2020
* Across any 6 bottles of wine, when purchased in store.
The 2020 Diana Madeline vintage was hot and dry. For the old block cabernet sauvignon vines these drought like conditions resulted in the vines producing small berries, and hence the vines were low yielding - .i.e. bunch numbers were average but with low berry weight. This produced a wine of elegance, balance and perfume… effortless.
First impressions have juicy berry fruit, mulberry, plum, cherry. This unctuous fruit is framed by fine grained tannins and Wilyabrub earth, ironstone, and dust which expresses the heat of the vintage and complements the concentration of the fruit.
92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 1% Malbec.
