Founded in 1970 Cape Mentelle has become a benchmark Margaret River producer. Cabernet Sauvignon is their icon red though they have a long history with Shiraz and Zinfandel. Similarly they produce an excellent Chardonnay with strong contributions from Semillon/ Sauvignon Blanc. Cape Mentelle is part of the wine division of Moet Hennessey, the French Champagne and Cognac House synonymous with luxury beverages.
Aromas of citrus blossom, lemon myrtle and passionfruit. The palate is full of vibrant tropical and citrus fruit with creamy texture and crisp finish.
