Cape Mentelle Zinfandel

Cape Mentelle Zinfandel 2024 is a bold, distinctive Margaret River red from Cape Mentelle, blending 95% Zinfandel with 5% Shiraz for plush fruit, spice and serious presence. Grown from dry-grown, low-yielding estate vines, it is an assertive Australian Zinfandel built for generous food and cellar time.

Dark cherry, boysenberry and plum compote surge from the glass, wrapped in raspberry, fig, baking spice, vanilla and dark chocolate. Cape Mentelle Zinfandel 2024 is juicy and plush, with sweet fruit balanced by fine oak threads, peppery spice and firm yet energised tannins through a long finish.

Go big with this Margaret River Zinfandel: sticky barbecue pork ribs, spiced lamb shoulder, smoky brisket or slow-cooked eggplant and lentils are spot-on. The wine’s dark fruit and chocolate-spice character also makes it a brilliant match for hard cheeses or a rich dark chocolate dessert.
