OUR STORY

CAPE LANDING IS AN INDEPENDENT, FAMILY OWNED VINEYARD MAKING CLASSIC MARGARET RIVER WINES

Our range of single vineyard wines are all sourced from an ancient landscape first cleared and farmed by pioneer settlers a century ago during the era of Group Settlement in Margaret River.

We continue to develop a distinctly Australian vineyard that integrates biodiversity with fruit production allowing us to focus our efforts on both the restoration and maintenance of native species and the plant communities that support the vineyards ecosystem.

Our Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc vines thrive in a picturesque vineyard that spans gently rolling hills, with well drained soils, benefiting in particular from a distinctly Mediterranean style climate; where wet winters and long warm summers create a perfect environment for making fragrant, textured, 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.

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.

HISTORY

ORIGINS & GROUP SETTLEMENT

Cape Landing’s picturesque vineyard in Forest Grove, Margaret River, sits on land that originally formed part of Group 7 of Western Australia’s Group Settlement Scheme.

The heritage of Group Settlement is a significant part of our history, which we recognise in the image of the 'Cape Landing Settler' that appears in our brand and on every bottle of wine produced by Cape Landing.

Our Story So Far…

Consistency is very much our story right now!

We have taken time to learn the qualities of our single vineyard and understand its wine making potential, and we continue to develop a very distinctly Australian vineyard with continuous attention to bio-diverse and sustainable vineyard management practices.

Cape Landing's wines are made entirely from fruit produced in our own single vineyard and results over the past 18 months from the Decanter World Wine Awards 2020 and 2021, and the Halliday Wine Companies 2021 and 2011, speak for themselves.

We have seen all of our current release wines achieve ratings of 90 points or higher, with an average rating of 93.25 points per wine.

We are delighted with our Gold Medal winning Cabernet Sauvignon (Vintage 2019) and Sauvignon Blanc (Vintage 2018), and strong Silver Medal results for our Blackwood Cabernet (Vintage 2019), Reserve Cabernet (Vintage 2018), Blackwood Chardonnay (Vintage 2019), Sauvignon Blanc (Vintage 2020), Reserve Chardonnay (Vintage 2019) and Reserve Syrah (Vintage 2019).
