The 2024 vintage threw absolute chaos at Vanya Cullen, breaking records as the earliest, driest and warmest harvest in Margaret River's history. Yet, it’s exactly in these extreme years that her uncompromising, long-term commitment to biodynamics pays off. The historic 1971 vines dug deep into their ancient gravel soils, pulling through with remarkable fruit concentration and an unexpected twist for a young Diana Madeline: it is remarkably approachable right now.
A rigorous selection of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Merlot spent 14 months in French oak. This year the architecture feels slightly more open-weave than the monolithic 2023, offering early drinker appeal without sacrificing an ounce of its legendary cellaring potential.
It smells of brooding black fruits, cedar, sweet tobacco leaf and bay leaf. The mouthfeel is plush, laden with dark plum and cassis, before raw cacao-like tannins and a gravelly mineral line snap the finish tight.
We've long loved Diana Madeline and this is another compelling chapter in its remarkable story.

Margaret River Wine
In the southwest of Western Australia, the Margaret River wine region is unique in that it is the most maritime-influenced region in all of Australia. The cool Indian ocean breezes come in through the summer to keep the temperatures around the vines steady resulting in an unusually even accumulation of warmth in the growing season. It is also quite dry as interestingly less than 20% of the annual rainfall occurs as the grapes are growing. The region’s climatic factors have been compared to what Bordeaux would be like in a dry season. While the region’s total production is relatively small (3% of Australia’s total wine production), it is responsible for 20% of our premium wine market.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz as well as Bordeaux blends are all very popular red wine options in the region.
For whites, refreshing blends of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon as well as complex, age worthy Chardonnays are the specialties.
