About this wine
Cape Mentelle Grey Label Chardonnay Margaret River
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the grapes for the Cape Mentelle Grey Label Chardonnay are sourced from select estate vineyards in Margaret River, where the maritime climate and diverse soils create optimal conditions for Chardonnay. In the blend, Chapman Brook vineyard fruit provides generosity and weight while the Crossroads vineyard brings another layer of refinement and structure to the wine.
Fermentation occurs in French oak barrels, with a careful blending process to achieve the desired balance of flavours. The wine then undergoes a period of maturation on lees, enhancing its texture and contributing to the overall refinement. The result is a Chardonnay that reflects the distinct characteristics of its origin while showcasing the artistry of the winemaking team.

Expert Review
Ken Gargett
2021 is proving to be an excellent vintage in the Margaret River region, but one needs a long memory to recall when they were not blessed with fine conditions. The fruit is sourced from the Crossroads and Chapman vineyards, mostly the gingin clone. Whole bunch pressed and fermented in barrels, maturation is in French oak (88%) and tank (12%) for ten months, before transferring to tank for a further five months with monthly lees stirring.
A gleaming pale gold and such an alluring nose. The complexity is immediately evident with wonderful floral notes, stonefruits and vanillin oak, finely integrated. Tropical notes emerge more on the palate than with the aroma. Balanced, exhibiting finesse and exceptional length. Balance, finesse and length are very much the hallmarks of this stunning Chardonnay. Eight to ten years with ease.
