Capel Vale Regional Series Margaret River Chardonnay (750ml) is an elegant, expressive, and beautifully structured white wine that showcases why Western Australia is considered a world-class home for premium Chardonnay. Family-owned Capel Vale was a true pioneer in the region, standing as the first winery in Western Australia to own and establish vineyards across its prime cool-climate sub-regions. Crafted with 100% estate-grown fruit, this graceful drop captures the definitive regional signature of Margaret River, balancing pristine coastal fruit purity with a sophisticated, savory complexity.
Wild Fermentation & French Oak Maturation
To bring out the authentic character of the maritime terroir, the juice undergoes a 100% wild ferment using native yeasts before maturing for several months in premium French oak barriques. True to traditional artisan methods, the yeast lees are stirred regularly (bâtonnage). This careful process builds a beautiful, supple texture and a creamy mid-palate structure, while perfectly preserving the wine's bright, driving natural acidity.
Tasting Notes
  • Aroma: Highly fragrant and delicate. The nose opens with a beautiful bouquet of orange blossom, honeysuckle, and fresh apricot pit, seamlessly layered with notes of freshly shaved fennel, toasted hazelnut, and a hint of complex mushroom cream.
  • Palate: Supple, medium-bodied, and vibrant. The palate enjoys a pure core of white peach, green apple, and juicy nectarine fruits, beautifully framed by light, spicy French oak.
  • Finish: Long, balanced, and remarkably crisp. It tapers off into an elegant closing driven by a bright line of fruit acidity and a lingering, distinctive briny, saline mineral edge that reflects its coastal origins.
