Cape Mentelle SBS

Wine of the Month Special $19.99 | Special Ends 2 January, 2022

Cape Mentelle takes a non-interventionist approach towards this classic Margaret River blend allowing the region and  varieties to speak with loud, clear voices, aiming to preserve fruit intensity and purity.

About

The style accentuates the fresh, vibrant fruit characters of both varieties with the added complexity and palate weight offered through several months of aging on lees; the land and sea vividly expressed.

What’s it like

The  bright  palate  bursts  forth  with  fresh  citrus, tropical  and  floral  notes  of  lime  juice,  grapefruit, green  pawpaw,  jasmine  and  fresh  wild  flowers. This wine has sinewy energy, displaying a fine line of acidity that carries the freshness and minerality to the end of the lithe palate. Elegant yet textural, there is great tension in the wine, which has a lifted floral white tea note on its finish.

“This  wine  displays  great  brightness  and  texture  with  a  juicy deliciousness  that  begs  to  be  slurped  with  fresh  seafood, or savoured on its own.”

Ben Cane, Cape Mentelle Winemaker
