This is how we spent our Saturday night. Can you really go wrong? I don’t think so..
A big thanks to Cape Mentelle in WA’s Margaret River region for sending over this sample for us to try. It’s an intriguing blend of Shiraz 65%, Grenache 15%, Tempranillo 7%, Sangiovese 4%, Zinfandel 4% Mourvedre 3%, Viognier 2%.
For me, I found this Rosé on the savoury side, which I really enjoyed. It’s also has a bit of age on it being 2018 which I believe gave it a bit of extra complexity.
In the glass it’s a pale peach colour with a vibrant pink hue. On the nose there’s savoury berries, citrus and floral notes. While in the mouth it has wonderful bright citrus acidity with orchard fruits, lemongrass and a sprinkling of pepper. It’s more than just a fresh and fruity Rosé, it’s got character and sass 💁♀️
This #wine was sent to me as a sample, I was under no obligation to post about it.

58% Shiraz with rest of the blend icluding Tempranillo, Zinfandel, Grenache, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Mourvèdre, Nebbiolo and Graciano. Light salmon pink color. Aromas and flavors of fresh strawberries, raspberries, watermelon and rose petals. Additional Touch of lemon zest, minerals and saline on the pallet. Very fruit forward on the finish. Noticeable acidity. Bright and refreshing.
