This wine was produced on a certified Biodynamic, Carbon Neutral and naturally powered estate. This outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot from the 2019 vintage displays densely flavoured ripe dark fruits, complemented by discrete fine-grained tannins.

A wine we affectionately called ‘Junior Diana Madeline’ as it is predominantly old vine Cabernet Sauvignon planted on Cullen vineyard in 1971. It is a blend of 63% Cullen Vineyard and 37% Mangan Vineyard.

78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot.

Blackberry, boysenberry, hazelnut, a violet perfume, with earthiness below. Medium-bodied, thick and nutty with a praline richness, melting smudgy tannin offering grip and excellent texture, earth and gravel, almond paste, fresh acidity with an amaro dried herb edge, and a perfumed finish offering loads of lush tannin, slate, and red berry acidity. Feels like a wine made in the vineyard, which is as it should be. Bloody beautiful.
