What to expect
Your guide will lead you through the working vineyard, pointing out vine management practices and discussing how the coastal climate delivers the freshness Cape Mentelle pursues. You'll then move into the winery itself, seeing fermentation tanks and production facilities where philosophy meets process. The final 30 minutes happen in the Cellar Door, where you'll taste several current releases whilst your guide explains what you're tasting and why each wine was made the way it was. Expect practical detail rather than flowery language—this is about understanding decisions, not just sipping.
