Cape Mentelle

Margaret River Cabernet and Sauvignon Blanc from Western Australia's coastal terroir.

Cape Mentelle sits in Margaret River, Western Australia's premier wine region, where maritime influence and gravelly soils shape distinctive Bordeaux-style reds and aromatic whites. The winery's Wilyabrup Cabernet Sauvignon–Merlot–Cabernet Franc blends the region's signature dark fruits with structural elegance, drawing assessment from Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff. Its Sauvignon Blanc–Sémillon offerings—both the botrytized expression and the dry Wallcliffe bottling—demonstrate the region's capacity for textured, complex whites. Margaret River's cool-climate conditions and diurnal temperature swings allow extended ripening that builds phenolic maturity in reds while preserving acidity and aromatics in whites. Cape Mentelle's portfolio reflects this terroir: structured, age-worthy Cabernet blends alongside layered, mineral-driven Sauvignon Blanc–Sémillon combinations.
