Description
Diana Madeline is the culmination of more than 50 years of dedication, care, and deep respect for the land. The vines, planted in 1971 on ancient gravelly granite soils, consistently produce a wine of great quality, elegance, perfume, and balance.
The fruit was hand-harvested across six pickings, beginning in mid-February and culminating a few weeks later on a Moon opposite Saturn astral event. Skin contact ranged from 15 to 78 days, before gentle basket pressing to barrel. The wine then matured for an average of 14 months in oak, with 50% new oak, across a combination of biodynamic barriques and puncheons.
The final blend comprises 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec, and 2% Merlot.
"Brilliantly structured, the texture is sleek and seductive with succulent fruit throughout. The wine is very, very long and finishes with the silkiest of tannins. A wonderful Margaret River Cabernet which will sail through the next twenty years." 98 Points - Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot
"This is very concentrated and power-packed, and begs to be left alone for several years before broaching, and will pay off big time if cellared. Hide it away to get your full money's worth. A glorious cabernet blend of outstanding potential."97 Points - Huon Hooke, The Real Review
