Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"The 2021 vintage at Capel Vale Wines was a tremendous vintage resulting in lower yields with exceptional quality fruit, high flavour concentration and good natural acidity. Cracking vintage. Dark fruits, spice & red licorice. Soft velvety tannin, emblematic of the Great Southern region. A delicious wine to drink young for its primary fruit characters. The wine will gain complexity and smoothness with cellaring 5 to 8 years."
92/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, June 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"It's sweetly ripe and immediately appealing on the nose showing dark plum, pomegranate, warm spice and hazelnut aromas, leading to a flavoursome palate offering plump mouthfeel together with fleshy texture and fine tannins. Beautifully composed and expressed. At its best: now to 2030."
92/100 Ray Jordan, winepilot.com, November 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"A soft and supple medium bodied shiraz from Mount Barker. Spicy plummy fruit characters emerge on the nose then lift off the palate. Delicious mix of rich chocolate and plummy fruits with a trace of African violet. Beautiful palate weight and mouth feel."
