Cullen Wines Diana Madeline
Certified biodynamic and organic. Magnificent pitch black colour with a very deep bright dark red black hue. On the nose a lovely mix of red to black currant and mulberry scents morph into violet, vanillin cedar, dried herb, tobacco, black olive and spicy bay leaf notes. Medium bodied, elegant and superbly structured, the palate features a tightly knit matrix of red to black currant, mulberry and black olive flavours. Bright youthful acidity and an assertive grainy tannin structure provide an iron girder like core. Notions of tobacco, dried herbs, vanillin cedar and spicy bay leaf infusions also chime in. Restrained and understated in its power at present it concludes long and rich yet compact. Cellar 10-20 years. Alc. 13%
Caiarossa Toscana
Caiarossa is an original blend of 7 different varieties harmoniously put together to reflect the complexity of its outstanding terroir; Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon make the majority of the blend. The estate is made up of a variety of vineyards (which have been managed following organic and biodynamic principles since 1998) specifically tailored according to differences in soil, altitude and exposure. Caiarossa - since 2004 - has been part of the Albada Jelgersma family, which also owns the historic Chateau Giscours in Margaux. Dense midnight black heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Delightful red to black currant and dark cherry aromas rise from the glass complimented by hints of liquorice, vanillin cedar, earthy tobacco characters, dried herbs and spice. Rich, amply powered and bold yet wonderfully structured, the medium to full bodied palate is engulfed with blackcurrant and dark cherry fruits that are held within a robust tannin framework. Infusions of dried herbs, earthy cedar, tobacco and spice add complexity. Finishes dry and firm with loads of red to dark fruit lingering through the long sturdy aftertaste. Cellar 6-8 years. Alc. 14.5%
