Description
The 2010 season produced wines which were abundant in fruit and had excellent balance.
In accordance with biodynamic principles, the grapes were hand harvested on fruit days from the Cabernet Sauvignon vines, which are now 39 years old.
The fruit was carefully sorted before fermentation with indigenous yeasts and malolactic bacteria.
No acid or yeast was added, producing a wine which has a sense of place through the grapes and natural winemaking techniques employed.
The plum, mulberry and blackcurrant aromas cascade out of the glass bringing high notes of rose and violet.
Savoury ironstone and tobacco complete the classic aroma profile of the Diana Madeline.
Fine grained tannin with uplifting and sustained fruit notes.
Red fruit and plum flavours connect with the ironstone minerality, providing backbone and structure.
