Cullen Diana Madeline 2024
The 2024 vintage threw absolute chaos at Vanya Cullen, breaking records as the earliest, driest and warmest harvest in Margaret River's history. Yet, itâs exactly in these extreme years that her uncompromising, long-term commitment to biodynamics pays off. The historic 1971 vines dug deep into their ancient gravel soils, pulling through with remarkable fruit concentration and an unexpected twist for a young Diana Madeline: it is remarkably approachable right now.
A rigorous selection of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Merlot spent 14 months in French oak. This year the architecture feels slightly more open-weave than the monolithic 2023, offering early drinker appeal without sacrificing an ounce of its legendary cellaring potential.
It smells of brooding black fruits, cedar, sweet tobacco leaf and bay leaf. The mouthfeel is plush, laden with dark plum and cassis, before raw cacao-like tannins and a gravelly mineral line snap the finish tight.
We've long loved Diana Madeline and this is another compelling chapter in its remarkable story.
