Our Review
As it turned out, ’23 was a watershed moment at Cape Mentelle, a Margaret River pioneer. One of the worst-kept wine secrets came to fruition: Endeavour Group bought the business, which had been under the umbrella of Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy for more than 30 years. But personally, we had even better news in late ’22 with Eloise Jarvis coming on as senior winemaker. Why? Her first vintage job was at Cape Mentelle in ’96. She loves the place. Super smart, skilled, dedicated and passionate, it bodes well. There’s an excellent team working with her and great vineyards, too. -JANE FAULKNER
