Cape Mentelle Chardonnay 750ml

DESCRIPTION

Cape Mentelle was established in 1970 and was one of the first wineries in the Margaret River, Western Australia. A complex array of fresh cashew, lemon peel, raw macadamia and nectarine notes flesh out this texturally expansive wine to complete this captivating expression of Margaret River chardonnay. Definitely a glorious full bodied wine! Whilst this wine presents beautifully now it has the potential to age up to 15 years. Cape Mentelle pioneered many of the region’s renowned wine styles.

TASTING NOTES

The Cape Mentelle style draws inspiration from traditional methods to deliver a wine displaying aromatic complexity and a finely textured palate with a long, clean finish. This youthful wine is powerful, robust and complex displaying ripe pineapple, poached apple, frangipane and fresh cream aromas, with a honeyed richness highlighted by oak notes of fresh cedar and toasted hazelnuts. As the wine opens up, hints of vanilla bean, wet pebble, stone fruit and buttered popcorn emanate beautifully. The palate is smothered with round ripe flavours of Fuji apple, dried mango, and wild rice pudding that is both creamy and unctuous.
