Product Description
Notes from Cape Mentelle's Vineyard
The lion’s share of the Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc fruit came from the cooler southern half of the Margaret River region including our Chapman Brook Vineyard. Various canopy management methods are used, with the objective being to maximise fruit flavour development. The typical soils of these vineyards are geologically ancient, free draining sandy loams with a high percentage of lateritic gravel.
Notes from Cape Mentelle's Winemakers
When harvesting Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon the emphasis is placed on capturing vibrant, fresh flavours with clean acidity. Fruit is generally machine harvested at night to take advantage of the cooler temperatures. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with around 15% of the blend fermented in a combination of new and seasoned French and American oak barriques.
