A one-off cabernet with 3% petit verdot from an outstanding year. Named after the winemaker Vanya Cullen. 4500 bottles produced. 19 months in 50% new oak. The wine is extraordinarily beautiful, balanced and elegant. The bouquet is fully-ripe red and black fruit aromas, with a high note of violets, without leafy notes, finishing with a trace of dark chocolate. The tannins are very fine-grained and soft. A delicious wine, already drinking superbly. The wine has great concentration and precision ripeness, but is not a blockbuster, nor is it overtly oaky. It's all about elegance and balance. 27 APR 2016 Drink 2016–2042

An extraordinary wine from the oldest ('71) estate plantings, wild fermented and matured for 19 months in French oak (47% new). Deeply coloured and highly fragrant, the palate takes you on a mesmerising ride with a mid-palate peak of pure, unalloyed cassis fruit, then a swish of integrated savoury tannins before rising again on the dark fruit line of the finish thanks in part to 3% petit verdot. 388 dozen made.
