Wine Summary Image

Our Cape to Cape wines are approachable, fruit driven wines made for enjoying now and over the short term. For the 2018 vintage, this Chardonnay was sourced from within the Great Southern in a season that was a cool and dry, so we have a finer, more delicate style of wine as a result. After fermenting entirely in tank, the Chardonnay was briefly matured with French oak, producing a wine with delicious fresh fruit flavours and complexed by the light oak characters.

Winery Tasting Notes

Colour

Very bright and clear with a light, pale gold colour.

Aroma

Has the lovely tropical fruit characters that are so typical of the Chardonnay grape, eg passionfruit and white peach aromas. There's even a delicious "crème brulee" character.

Palate

This chardonnay is definitely a great wine for current drinking; it is soft and fruit with a gorgeous full palate. The very light touch of oak contributes to its good palate weight without compromising on the fruit. It is generously flavoured with those tropical fruit characters and it finishes with a gentle, clean acidity.3.30

Cellaring

Made for immediate enjoyment, this wine is great to serve with a wide range of foods.

Winery Profile

Located in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, West Cape Howe is the most southerly point, rising some 250 metres above the Southern Ocean. It is thought that the first explorers to this coastline were Dutch seafarers in 1627 aboard their 'Fluyt' class vessel "Gulden Zeepaard" (Golden Seahorse).

The winery is named after this magnificent landmark to pay respect not only to the natural beauty of the region, but also in recognition of the extreme influence of the Southern Ocean on the area's viticulture. The rugged coastline is home to some stunning white beaches, sheltered coves and great rock climbing sites.

West Cape Howe Wines is owned by a partnership including Gavin Berry (until 2004, senior winemaker at Plantaganet), and viticulturist, Rob Quenby. It was founded in 1997 and soon became one of the fastest growing wine brands in Western Australia, now producing around 60,000 cases annually. Over time, it has acquired some of the oldest vineyard resources in the state, giving it unrivalled access to the best and most consistent quality fruit that the cool Great Southern wine region has to offer.

West Cape Howe's driving philosophy is to make delicious wines of harmony, balance, structure and flavour - wines that people love to drink.
