"One of the great names in Margaret River and Australian wine. Cullen makes one of Australia’s great cabernets and, in recent years, its chardonnays have been elevated to the top level."

Cullen Wines:
Diana Madeline AM was a revered matriarch with a deep love for the world. Her passion for the Bordeaux blend led her to introduce both Merlot and Cabernet Franc to the Margaret River wine region in 1976. She had a particular fondness for the Cabernet family, especially Petit Verdot and Malbec. To honour her legacy and the exceptional 2023 vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon, we have crafted the inaugural release of a Legacy Series wine in her name.

This blend represents the first pick of Cabernet from the stellar 2023 vintage, occurring on a full Moon and Moon opposite Saturn harvest in early March. A co-fermented blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Malbec this wine was matured in 33% new French oak for 14 months.

The blend here is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Malbec. The grapes were harvested under a full moon on 7th March, Moon Opposite Saturn Harvest, hence the MOSH. Maturation was for fifteen months in barriques, one-third of them new. Black purple in colour, the nose weaves its way through aromas of spices, mulberries, florals, blackberries, bruised plums, leather, dried herbs, charcuterie and spices. There is a hint of toasty oak still evident, but integration is proceeding well and all the wine needs is time. Seductively textured, there is wonderful length here and the wine is immaculately balanced throughout. It finishes with the finest of silky tannins. A stunning Cabernet which will drink beautifully for the next quarter of a century.
