Collection: CAPE MENTELLE

As it turned out, ’23 was a watershed moment at Cape Mentelle, a Margaret River pioneer. One of the worst-kept wine secrets came to fruition: Endeavour Group bought the business, which had been under the umbrella of Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy for more than 30 years. But personally, we had even better news in late ’22 with Eloise Jarvis coming on as senior winemaker. Why? Her first vintage job was at Cape Mentelle in ’96. She loves the place. Super smart, skilled, dedicated and passionate, it bodes well. There’s an excellent team working with her and great vineyards, too. -JANE FAULKNER

At Cape Mentelle we draw inspiration from the great wines of the world. This is reflected in the techniques employed in our vineyards as we aim to produce wines that capture a unique sense of place in every bottle. These characteristics are defined by our pristine coastal location, unique soils and 50 years of viticultural history.

Our philosophy extends beyond the glass as we endeavour to create a legacy of sustainability and longevity.  Constantly improving the potential of our vineyards and local environments, we pave the way for the next generation to continue the pursuit of crafting Australia's definitive wine styles and while doing so we are preserving and building on what is uniquely Cape Mentelle.
