Heritage Western Australia

Heritage WESTERN AUSTRALIA

At Cape Mentelle we draw inspiration from the great wines of the world.

This is reflected in the techniques employed in our vineyards as we aim to produce wines that capture a unique sense of place in every bottle. These characteristics are defined by our pristine coastal location, unique soils and 50 years of viticultural history.

The Marmaduke range takes its inspiration from  Marmaduke Terry, one of the first settlers of the Margaret River region where Cape Mentelle has proudly resided since 1970. As one of the founding wineries, we continue to explore our local terroir to craft wines of distinctive expression and exceptional quality.
