Cape Mentelle Shiraz takes inspiration from the most traditional techniques in order to highlight our ideal temperate, maritime climate for this classic Australian variety. The fruit is partially destemmed, berry sorted, cold soaked and traditionally fermented. Maturation in small barriques is aimed at retaining the refined fruit and floral characters of the variety along with the more savoury, spicy elements derived from the vineyards in Margaret River.

The palate is rich and juicy displaying satsuma plum and ripe black forest berry fruits of mulberry and blackberry overlaying cured charcuterie and smoked pink peppercorn. Oak notes of cinnamon and nutmeg, licorice and clove interlace with red mineral earthy notes, hints of orange peel and cedar bark. The tannins are chewy, yet silky with great texture and detail.

This Shiraz pays homage to the original winery located in the historic town of Clare, which first opened as a Jam Factory in 1895. For over a century the Jam Shed played a crucial role in the development of the region through both jam and wine production and this quirky Shiraz has been inspired by great preserves of old. With aromas of rhubarb, florals and spiced notes, it finishes with a juicy sweetness of red fruits.
