Cape Mentelle Chardonnay

Cape Mentelle’s senior winemaker is Rob Mann, grandson to Jack Mann, one of the region’s foremost pioneers and a leading innovator in the modern era of Australian wine. Blessed with ideal conditions in 2012 the Cape Mentelle Chardonnay expresses its elegance sublimely. There is no showing off, no heavy handed use of oak or barrel stirring.

Margaret River has established an international reputation for exceptional Chardonnay. The Cape Mentelle style draws inspiration from traditional methods to deliver a wine displaying aromatic complexity and a finely textured palate with a long, clean finish. This youthful wine is powerful and complex displaying ripe pineapple, poached apple, frangipane and fresh cream aromas, with a honeyed richness highlighted by oak notes of fresh cedar and toasted hazelnuts.
