"Fine grained tannins frame the structure of this beautifully fruited cabernet merlot blend from our 50 year old vines. Tannins are what make great wine quality, and this wine has ample - with tannins sitting at the front of the mouth pulling the flavours of cabernet through, so energetic with the tension between the savoury and sweet nature of this wine." - Winemakers note

"This wine is referred to as the junior Diana Madeline, with the cabernet sauvignon grapes coming from the Cullen Wines ‚'old block' cabernet sauvignon, planted 50 years ago in 1971. It is a blend of 78% cabernet sauvignon, 19% merlot, 2% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot. The grapes were hand harvested on the fruit and flower days of the biodynamic calendar and fermented on skins for 10 - 26 days with indigenous yeasts. The malolactic fermentation went through naturally. The wine was aged for 7 months in 30% new French oak barrels."
