Margaret River is an under appreciated region for Australian Shiraz, and it's hard to see why with Cape Mentelle's Shiraz showing a vibrant core of blueberry, mulberry and hints of raspberry.

The Savaterre vineyard is elevated at 430m above sea level and is farmed along organic principles. No pesticides are used. An incredibly complex, lifted, lively and intense nose. Exotic aromas of smoked meats, dried red rose, allspice, clove, dark plum, dark cherry ,blackberry, mulberry, mandarin, violets, sandalwood, bay and funky undergrowth. This aroma really revs me up, it continues to evolve as time goes by. This wine is alive! Complexity, poise, sinewy acid, fine tannins wrapped around a sleek core of pristine dark fruit. A wine thats slightly reduced and smelling of undergrowth now that transforms in the glass and continues to seduce. This is Terroir. This is Savaterre.

Let's not mince words here - this is a monstrous wine. Super concentrated, super rich and extremely powerful. Soft, plush tannins and the use of 100% American oak (46% new) is just the cherry on top of this beautiful black forest cake. This could be comfortably cellared for 15-20 years - serious stuff. The 2022 Blue Eyed Boy is unmistakably McLaren Vale Shiraz. Plush, rich, and unapologetically bold. Deep purple in the glass, it opens with vibrant aromas of blueberry, ripe plum, and mocha cream - see what we mean about black forest cake. The palate is all about power and polish - layer after layer of fresh, juicy berries, a hint of aniseed spice, and a smooth, lengthy, finish laced with dark chocolate and ripe tannins. It’s lush, expressive, and beautifully structured, with velvety tannins carrying the flavour long after the last sip. A showstopper now, with the depth, acid and tannin to age gracefully for years to come.
