Shiraz and cabernet sauvignon have been blended in Australia since the late 19th century, in a style that uniquely combines the plush and savoury notes of shiraz with the elegance, length and structure of cabernet. With this wine, Cape Mentelle reconnects with Australian wine traditions and blends these two outstanding varieties from the Margaret River region, creating a rich, deeply textured and complex wine. The fruit comes from our Wallcliffe (48 years old), Trinders (30 years old) and Crossroads (15 years old) vineyards. The typical soils of these vineyards are geologically ancient, free draining sandy loams with a high percentage of lateritic gravel. Meticulously careful hand work on the canopy ensured perfect exposition for the fruit, which in 2018, allowed ultra-fine tannin development, at modest ripeness levels with beautifully balanced acids.
Margaret River
Here’s a tried and true stalwart from the esteemed Cape Mentelle stable. It’s from a warm year and has been maturing slowly and steadily to the point where it’s right in its peak drinking window (tasted Sept. 2023). Very smoothly finished, there’s flavours of dried plum, tobacco, Christmas cake, chocolate, earth, mint and leather. It’s a reflection of a warm vintage - rich, ripe and generously flavoured.
