Cullen Diana Madeline 2023 from Cullen Wines in Wilyabrup, Margaret River, is an Australian icon at full flight – a biodynamic, Cabernet‑led blend of tremendous energy, depth and finesse. Hand‑harvested across seven picks and matured for 14 months in French oak, it is powerful yet beautifully controlled, built for decades in the cellar.

The perfume is utterly compelling: cassis, blackberry, mulberry and ripe cherry layered with rose, violet, cocoa, cigar box, cedar, graphite and ironstone. The palate is concentrated and seamless, delivering black and purple fruits, dark chocolate, savoury earth and exotic spice across fine, chalky tannins. Cullen Diana Madeline 2023 is vibrant, structured and extraordinarily long.

This Cullen Diana Madeline is made for rare roast beef, beef Wellington, herb‑crusted lamb, venison loin, duck with cherry jus or aged clothbound cheddar. Decant generously if opening young, or cellar with confidence – this is a benchmark Margaret River Cabernet blend with the balance, detail and underlying power to become even more magnificent over the next two decades.
