It has all the vibrancy of the variety with green apple, snow peas, guava and passionfruit pith, yet the palate is all about texture and drive. Juicy and tangy with talc-like acidity, while lemon curd and shortcrust pastry flavours add another level of detail. Moreish.

More about this wine
This is a Sauvignon Blanc led blend that is at its best within five years of the vintage. Fruit is sourced from Cape Mentelle’s vineyards in the cooler, southern part of Margaret River.
About Cape Mentelle
Cape Mentelle is a Margaret River pioneer established in 1970 by brothers David, Giles and Mark Hohnen with the planting of what is now known as the Walcliffe Vineyard. The original 16 hectares of vines has over the years grown to 116 hectares, with a global export market for the well-regarded wines.
New Zealand born Annabel Angland leads the work in the vineyards, while Margaret River local David Moulton keeps things organised at the winery.
