Capel Vale have been crafting intensely fruit driven, powerful yet elegant Sauvignon Blanc from harvests grown to the finest Western Australia vineyards since 1974. The balmy maritime climes encourage Sauvignon Blanc grapes to develop the requisite qualities for a generously textured palate with firm structure and fine length. Completely unwooded and unoaked, Capel Vale displays revitalizing green bean, snow pea and lantana characters with an underlying minerality.
Pemberton sits on the slow ripening southwest coast of Australia, fully blessed by the most appropriate climates and soil to make serious Sauvignon Blanc. The success of Australia's southwest regions are due in no small part to decades of viticulture by Capel Vale. Grapes from the cooler parts of Pemberton are harvested at optimum ripeness, crushed, de-stemmed and chilled. Juices are transferred to fermenters after three days cold settling and introduced to aromatic yeast. Vinifications are halted early to preserve natural grape sugars, adding body and enhancing fruit character in the finished wine.
TASTING NOTES
Limpid pale straw green colour. Fine gravelly mineral aromas of Pemberton soils, citrus and cut grass, snap bean and snow pea working against a backdrop of mineral elements, kiwi and herbaceousness. The aromas are carried through to the textured palate, complemented by flavours of honeydew melon, tropical fruits, limes and flint. Match with grilled snapper, sashimi or goats cheese and truffle omelet.

About Capel Vale Winery
Capel Vale began as a hobby for Sydney radiologist Dr Peter Pratten and his wife Elizabeth when they purchased land on the Capel River between Bunbury and Busselton in 1974
Capel Vale Winery, restaurant and cellar door, now sit atop the original vineyard site, Stirling Estate. Stirling Estate was originally the site of a stone fruit orchard in the 1930s. Consisting of rich, red alluvial loams over a limestone base, it possessed a natural, permanent watertable and was perfect for growing vines. The first plantings were in 1974, producing the first commercial vintage in 1980. After determining that the soils of the Capel area (now included in the EU registered Geographe Region) were best suited to Chardonnay and Merlot, it became the Prattens passion to determine the best region in South Western Australia for each of the main premium grape varieties.
