One of Margaret River’s pioneering wineries, Cape Mentelle this year celebrates 50 years of winemaking, building further on their legacy of producing benchmark regional expressions that charm and delight wine lovers and award show judges alike. Savour their skill for yourself with this stunning dream vertical, featuring three great wines at a price that can’t be beat.
The Cape Mentelle Wallcliffe Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2016 (valued at $49) is complex interpretation of a white wine style that helped make the region the powerhouse it is today. A rich blend made from old vine fruit, it’s full-flavoured with masses of yellow fruit supported by stunning barrel, touches of sourdough and herb, silken texture and a long, delicious finish. A stunning wine, it makes a superb pairing with rich yet elegant dishes like snapper fillet with herb and almond crust.
Another classic dry white blend, the Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2019 is youthful and tight in classic regional style with pin-point acidity driving the grapefruit and passionfruit core, attractive minerality, mouth-watering texture and a savoury finish. A treat with simply-prepared seafood like grilled whiting with lemon and olive oil.
Margaret River Cabernet and Cabernet blends are hard to beat, and this one is a beauty: the Cape Mentelle Wallcliffe Cabernet & Cabernet Franc 2014 (valued at $65 RRP). Like a good Bordeaux it’s generous yet elegant with a stylish mix of dark fruit, cassis, leather and espresso, fine and deep tannin foundation, fresh acidity and beautifully savoury oak. Simply stunning with smoked cheddar, cornichons and rye toast.
If you’ve yet to experience the mastery of Cape Mentelle, this is your opportunity. Celebrate their 50th anniversary today for the great price of just $40 a bottle.
