Product details
One of the Margaret River’s “Founding Five” wineries, and named for nearby Cape Mentelle, the winery was established by the three Hohn brothers in 1970 with just 16 hectares of vines. In 1985 David Hohn established Cape Mentelle’s sister winery, Cloudy Bay, in New Zealand, which won world recognition with its Sauvignon Blanc and opened the door for the exceptional Cape Mentelle Margaret River Chardonnay to gain its impressive international reputation.

Expert Reviews
James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au
Vintage 2017 - “Predominantly from the estate vineyard, hand-picked, whole bunch-pressed, barrel-fermented in French barriques (one-third new), part wild, part cultured, yeast-fermented, matured for 9 months with weekly battonage. Gleaming straw-green; a super-elegant, yet extremely complex, wine, with pink grapefruit to the fore, balanced in both texture and flavour by buttery brioche.”
