    • Description

      87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 1% Malbec, 1% Cabernet Franc

      Diana Madeline is the flagship Cabernet blend of Cullen, long established as a benchmark for Margaret River and Australian Bordeaux-style wines. The Cullen family continues its dedication to biodynamic viticulture, low-intervention winemaking, and true site expression. The 2015 vintage was shaped by a mild, consistent season, producing a wine of precision, energy, and elegance.

      The blend for 2015 is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc. After careful selection and fermentation, the wine matured in French oak barriques, adding gentle spice and structure. The nose opens with violet, blackcurrant, and dark plum, lifted by subtle herb and graphite. The palate is medium-bodied, showing pure dark fruit, lively acidity, and fine, persistent tannins. Mocha, baking spice, and a hint of cedar unfold with air, leading to a long, refined finish.

      This vintage is notable for its balance and clarity. Diana Madeline 2015 is built for the cellar but already offers focus, poise, and the signature elegance that defines the Cullen estate.

    Cullen

    In the Australian wine industry, few names are so revered as Cullen out of Western Australia's Margaret River. From its inception in 1966 by Dr Kevin and Diana Cullen, this winery has seen only premium viticulture and winemaking practices in order to produce equally exceptional wines. First planted in 1971, the site now totals over 18 acres of vineyards planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Semillon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. In 1989 Diana Cullen handed the winemaking reins over to her daughter Vanya, who continues to hold that position in addition to Managing Director.

    With the goal to express the vineyard character through its wines, Vanya converted to biodynamic viticulture and uses a minimal intervention approach; the vines are dry-grown and low yielding in order to produce intensely flavoured grapes. All pruning and harvesting is done by hand and fermentation occurs using natural yeasts. In addition to it being biodynamic, Cullen is also a carbon-neutral and a naturally powered estate, respecting the environment to sustaining the land for many years to come.
