Cullen Diana Madeline Cabsauv-Merlot
The grapes were taken to tank, barrel and some amphorae for fermentation. Here they were fermented naturally without yeast or malolactic additions, and with no adjustment to flavor outside a small sulphur dioxide addition. The wine spent 14-27 days on skins before being gently basket pressed to barrel. The varietal blend is 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec. The wine was aged in 80% biodynamic barrels of which 50% were new. The wine will age for up to 50 years.

Bright deep purple. Fantastic complexity and vibrancy with layers of dark fruits complimented by some herbal notes. Elegant and poised: silky palate delivering blueberry, currant notes and some cacao bitterness.
