Cape Mentelle Shiraz

Cape Mentelle Shiraz 2021 is a compelling Margaret River red from Cape Mentelle, showing the region’s cooler, savoury side of Shiraz with dark fruit depth, aromatic spice and beautifully refined structure. It is powerful yet polished, offering immediate appeal with the poise to cellar confidently for a decade or more.

Dark berries, mulberry and plum compote meet cracked black pepper, smoky bacon, sumac, clove and a flicker of dark chocolate. Cape Mentelle Shiraz 2021 flows smoothly across the palate, with bright pulpy fruit, silky polished tannins and fresh natural acidity carrying its savoury complexity into a long finish.

Match this Margaret River Shiraz with slow-cooked lamb shawarma, charcoal-grilled beef, pumpkin gnocchi with sage butter or smoky eggplant dishes. Its savoury spice and velvety tannins also suit aged hard goat’s cheese with quince paste, making it a seriously versatile bottle for the table.
