“Margaret River is one of the great unpolluted and wild wine growing frontiers on this earth”
Bruce Dukes, Cape Landing Winemaker
Cape Landing Wines
BLACKWOOD, ESTATE AND RESERVE WINES
Cape Landing's Estate and Reserve wines consist of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Shiraz (Syrah) and Sauvignon Blanc all made entirely from fruit produced in our own single vineyard.
In addition, our finest parcels of fruit from each vintage year are carefully selected for our flagship 'Blackwood' wines.
Produced in extremely limited quantities, our Blackwood wines reflect the pinnacle of viticulture and the very best of wine making at Cape Landing.
"If Australia could only pick one wine region to showcase the very best of wines it can produce it would be wise to single out Margaret River."
Richard Siddle, The Buyer, UK
VINEYARD
VITICULTURE AND BIODIVERSITY
Cape Landing was first planted in 1998 with vines orientated north-south. We use a vertical shoot positioning trellis system throughout the vineyard.
The success of any wine made at Cape Landing begins in the vineyard.
Using a variety of viticultural techniques, including winter pruning, shoot thinning, leaf plucking and yield thinning/reduction throughout the growing season, we place particular emphasis on management of the vine canopy and the canopy microclimate to achieve superior quality fruit from our vines.
As we continue to develop a distinctly Australian vineyard, the integration of biodiversity with fruit production helps us focus our efforts on both the restoration and maintenance of native species and the plant communities that support the vineyard ecosystem.
