Product Details
Established in 1970 by wine industry pioneer David Hohnen, Cape Mentelle is one of Margaret River's founding wineries. Cape Mentelle Shiraz is a revelation of the region: a generous and friendly wine, full of fruit, with both power and finesse. Inspired by winemaking techniques from the Rhone Valley and his great love of wines from France, David Hohnen created Cape Mentelle Shiraz in 1983. However, in the early years of Margaret River, other varietals initially took the spotlight. It is now the Queen of varietals in the region. Bold, generous, expressive, this hearty wine has powdery and elegant tannins supporting layers of flavours from dark fruits to smoked charcuterie, finishing with cacao and tobacco notes; coastal influence retains freshness, which allows greater complexity and layering of peppery and spice notes over the dark forest berry and cured meat traditional characters of shiraz; the savoury and umami characters add both to the depth of complexity and rich texture of this wine.
Tasting Notes
The nose is varietaly expressive with notes of white and black pepper, spicy cardamom and an elegant sent of wisteria. Hints of rich candied orange peel, grated coconut, cedar and cigar box add to the enticing aromas. The intense concentration of flavours reflect the aromatics. Bursts of complex black fruits, small, ripe berries and liqueur cherries are supported by notes of orange marmalade, cinnamon syrup and ripe, chewy tannins. A very textural wine, the finish is long, intrinsically structured with lingering characters of caramelised oak and fresh crusty brioche.
