The Maison
Cape Mentelle
One of Margaret River’s five founding wineries, Cape Mentelle was established with just 16 hectares of vines by David Hohnen and his brothers in 1970. Today the vineyards cover more than 130 hectares, and the estate has won two of the most celebrated winemaking awards in Australia.
Heritage
Humble beginnings
The Hohnen brothers undertook what many thought was an impossible task – to transform a rugged and remote area hardly known for its wine production into a shining star of the Australian wine scene. Their achievement has inspired a whole generation of new winemakers in the country.
