Established by winemaking legend David Hohnen in 1970, Cape Mentelle is one of the founding five Margaret River wineries that today sets the region’s benchmark for quality wines. Thanks to their determination and the award of prestigious wine trophies in the Estate’s early years, Cape Mentelle has contributed significantly to putting Margaret River on the global wine map. Over the years, the award-winning winery has cultivated a sustainable winemaking philosophy driven by a thirst for experimentation and a desire to showcase the potential of the pristine Margaret River region. With an unconventional and pioneering spirit, Cape Mentelle has become renowned for crafting vibrant, elegant and expressive wines - particularly Cabernet Sauvignon - that are a true reflection of their distinctive origins. “Cape Mentelle is firing on all cylinders, with the winemaking team fully capitalising on the extensive and largely mature vineyards, which obviate the need for contract-grown fruit. Cape Mentelle is one of those knocking on the door of the Winery of the Year Award.” JAMES HALLIDAY, AUSTRALIAN WINE COMPANION 2019 EDITION
