Product Notes

Cape Mentelle's 16 Hectares Chardonnay is a luxurious and refined wine that showcases the essence of the Margaret River region in Western Australia. Made from grapes sourced from a specific 16-hectare plot of land, this wine displays a beautiful balance of ripe fruit flavors, elegant acidity, and subtle oak influence. The nose reveals aromas of white peach, citrus, and toasted almonds, while the palate offers a creamy texture with notes of pineapple, lemon curd, and a hint of vanilla. With a long and lingering finish, this Chardonnay is perfect for savoring on its own or pairing with seafood dishes.

About the Winery

Cape Mentelle

The winery gets its name from a nearby Cape that was given that title by the French "Baudin Expedition," which mapped Western Australia's coast in 1801. The Cape was given the names of two prominent French scientists who resided in Paris in the early 1700s: geographer Edmund with his brother Francois-Simon Mentelle. In 1970, David Hohnen, a pioneer in the wine business, and his brothers Mark and Giles founded Cape Mentelle Vineyards. Merely 16 hectares of grapes were cultivated on what today is known as the "Wallcliffe Vineyard" when their incredible Cape Mentelle journey began. Red wines were initially the main focus, including a brazen Shiraz. The establishment of Cape Mentelle's sister winery, known as Cloudy Bay, by David Hohnen in 1985 marked a turning point for the development of white wines.
