Cullen Wines
Diana Madeline Cabernet Blend is a top Cabernet based wine from Margaret River
in Western Australia. Since 2005 (version IV) it has been included in the top
"Exceptional" category in Langtons Classification of Australian
wines. First planted on a trial basis in 1966, Kevin and Diana Cullen planted
18 acres of vines in 1971, founding the estate that was later to become Cullen
Wines. The winery went organic in 1998 and then biodynamic in 2003.
The Cabernet Sauvignon for the wine is sourced from the original 1971 plantings, and the blend typically includes Malbec and Petit Verdot as you would expect from a Bordeaux blend. A portion of the grapes are barrel fermented and the wine is aged in French oak barrels of which up tom50% are new. According to the Langtons Website, 2008 is also a very good year.
