Cape Mentelle
Staff here know their wines and the Margaret River landscape inside out, making tastings feel less like a transaction and more like a conversation. The estate itself is immaculate, with tasting done among barrels in a calm, intimate cellar. Recent visitors praise the Shiraz and Cabernet, and those who book the behind-the-scenes tour learn how soil and cellaring shape the final bottle. The $25 tasting fee sits uneasily with some guests used to waived fees elsewhere in the region. Tour timing is fixed at 10:30 am, which rules out afternoon visitors. But staff routinely go out of their way-rescheduling bookings and checking in frequently during the tasting-and wine prices ($54.95–$105 per bottle depending on selection) reflect the quality and care on offer.
