Cape Mentelle zinfandel 2024

Zinfandel

Cape Mentelle has been making zinfandel almost from the outset, and it remains a style and variety eagerly sought by aficionados. It has been refined over the years, and this example, even in a warm year, shows lovely balance, restraint, and perfumed fruit intensity on the nose before delivering a remarkably soft, complex, and smooth palate structure. Lovely sweet fruit...

Cape Mentelle zinfandel 2023

Zinfandel

One of the most idiosyncratic and individual wines from Cape Mentelle, and indeed Western Australia. Zinfandel is rare here, but this season suited it perfectly, allowing ripeness and generosity without excess. Hand-picked, basket-pressed, and aged in oak for about 15 months, the result is a wine with liqueur, cherry, red fruit, and dark chocolate on the nose, and a vibrant,...

Talisman Wildchild zinfandel 2024

Zinfandel

This is a lighter style of zin, in fact the colour is sort of a pale crimson pink, but it has lovely aromatics with a slightly cherry ripe, chewy raspberry character. Palate has lovely, sweet fruit, and it’s neatly balanced. It’s a wine that would go well over summer and serve slightly chilled. It’s quite delicious.

Ray Jordan’s review

This slightly cooler season has resulted in a more restrained and stylish zin. The nose opens with distinctive aromas of liqueur cherry and raspberry dominating over the slightly confectionary jubey characters. The palate is remarkably soft and supple with a vanillin oak influence emerging and some slightly grainy tannins sitting within. Smooth.
