Destination: 'Cape Mentelle, Western Australia’



Cape Mentelle is an iconic Margaret River wine producer and one of its ‘founding five’ wineries, pioneering many of the region’s renowned wine styles. Here in the south-west corner of Australia, one of the world’s most remote wine regions, you can rest on a white sand dune with the Australian continent at your back and the Indian Ocean stretching to the western horizon and enjoy some of the best wine you’ll ever taste. The maritime climate with a long, dry growing season tempered by sea breezes is perfect for viticulture, providing consistently excellent quality from vintage to vintage. Awards, including consecutive wins of Australia’s Jimmy Watson trophy for Cabernet Sauvignon in 1983 and 1984, helped to put Margaret River on the map. Building on the winery’s tradition of pioneering spirit and uncompromising commitment to excellence, an innovative young team is taking up the challenge to be simply the best.
