Produced by \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eCullen Wines\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, this flagship wine is named in honour of Diana Cullen, whose vision helped establish Margaret River as one of the world's great fine wine regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"365\" data-end=\"753\"\u003eWidely regarded as one of Australia's First Growth-style wines, Diana Madeline is crafted from biodynamically and organically farmed estate vineyards in Wilyabrup, the heart of Margaret River. The blend is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by small portions of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, creating a wine of remarkable complexity, elegance, and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"755\" data-end=\"1046\"\u003eThe exceptional 2013 vintage is considered one of the finest Margaret River vintages of the modern era. Warm, dry conditions and an extended ripening season allowed the fruit to achieve outstanding concentration, flavour definition, and tannin maturity while retaining freshness and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1048\" data-end=\"1306\"\u003eHand-harvested fruit was carefully sorted and fermented in small batches before maturation in French oak barrels. Cullen's biodynamic philosophy and minimal-intervention approach ensure that the vineyard character and purity of fruit remain at the forefront.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1308\" data-end=\"1671\"\u003eThe bouquet is deeply aromatic and complex, revealing layers of blackcurrant, cassis, blackberry, dark plum, and black cherry, intertwined with notes of violets, cedar, graphite, cigar box, tobacco leaf, dark chocolate, and subtle dried herbs. With over a decade of bottle age, tertiary nuances of leather, forest floor, and savoury spice are beginning to emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1673\" data-end=\"1950\"\u003eThe palate is medium- to full-bodied, elegant, and impeccably structured. Concentrated dark fruit is framed by fine-grained tannins, vibrant natural acidity, and exceptional balance. The wine combines power and finesse in equal measure, finishing long, refined, and persistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1952\" data-end=\"2134\"\u003eNow entering a magnificent stage of development, the 2013 Diana Madeline is drinking beautifully but remains capable of further evolution for another 15–20 years in a quality cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2136\" data-end=\"2367\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2136\" data-end=\"2147\"\u003eWinery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cullen Wines\u003cbr data-start=\"2160\" data-end=\"2163\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2163\" data-end=\"2174\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Margaret River, Western Australia\u003cbr data-start=\"2208\" data-end=\"2211\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2211\" data-end=\"2221\"\u003eBlend:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec \u0026amp; Petit Verdot\u003cbr data-start=\"2287\" data-end=\"2290\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2290\" data-end=\"2302\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2013\u003cbr data-start=\"2307\" data-end=\"2310\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2310\" data-end=\"2320\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium Cabernet Blend\u003cbr data-start=\"2343\" data-end=\"2346\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2346\" data-end=\"2358\"\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screwcap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2369\" data-end=\"2479\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2369\" data-end=\"2386\"\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beef Wellington, roast lamb, venison, duck breast, mushroom dishes, and mature hard cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Ark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52206488584494,"sku":"6712179227","price":199.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/files\/2013CullenDianaMadeline750ml.png?v=1781620105","url":"https:\/\/www.jcfinewines.au\/products\/2013-cullen-diana-madeline-750ml","provider":"JC FINE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
