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 the shiraz with the elegance, length and structure of the cabernet. With this wine, Cape Mentelle reconnects with Australian wine traditions and lends these two outstanding varieties from the Margaret River region, creating a rich, deeply textured and complex wine. The aromatics are nuanced and complex; dark black forest berry fruit, sweet paprika and toasted cinnamon overlay intense smoked charcuterie. Finer nuances of cocoa powder, umami and roasted lamb entwine with leather and tobacco undertones combining with sage and spearmint notes. The palate is rich and powerful displaying plum, cranberry and ripe black forest berry fruits of boysenberry and blackcurrant overlaying cured charcuterie and roasted coffee. Oak tones of vanilla pod, roasted walnut and mocha interlace with toffee and molasses notes. Elegant tannins feature.
