“Margaret River was only a young region when Cape Mentelle claimed the Jimmy Watson trophy in successive years, proving it wasn’t a fluke and that there was something special about this region at the edge of Australia. Cape Mentelle really put Margaret River on the map.” David Moulton, Chief - Winemaking and Viticulture
Established in 1970, Cape Mentelle is one of the founding wineries of Margaret River. While pioneering many of the regions' renowned wine styles, Cape Mentelle also consistently serves as a benchmark for the quality of Margaret River wines. Accolades including consecutive wines of Australias' most prestigious wine trophy, the Jimmy Watson, with the iconic Cabernet Sauvignon in 1983 and 1984, helped put Margaret River on the international wine map. Today, Cape Mentelles' tradition of pioneering spirit and uncompromising commitment to excellence is being upheld by their talented and innovative young team.
As a guest at Cape Mentelle, you can be assured that they take their environmental responsibilities seriously. The 120 hectares of estate vineyards are managed with a sustainable viticulture philosophy, meaning as close to organic as possible. This philosophy extends through the winery and waste management practices.

We were in Margaret River for my birthday and Cape Mentelle was recommended as one of the must visit wineries.
The cellar door has a beautiful tasting area and the walls were lined with photos about their history. This was definitely one of the best cellar doors I've ever visited.
Megan was so friendly and knowledgeable. She is an asset to the company.

One of my favourite wineries in the region. The standard wine tasting is also one of the best in my opinion. It is done in a lovely setting and there is a significant amount of information on the wines for your perusal as you go through the tastings. I will definitely be back!

Great wine, service, boutique feel. Not pushing the cellar door corporately like some of the other big ones. Has free and fast Tesla/Porsche fast EV charging on site too!

Amazing experience, toured the vineyard with Rachel, our guide from Cape Mentelle. That's some unique experience that we won't get it back in our home country. The wine tasting session is excellent as well.
