Wine Summary Image

A warmer than usual start to summer prompted early fruit ripening with vintage beginning two weeks ahead of schedule. While this could have had an adverse effect with a loss of aromatics due to the quick ripening, the wines out of the 2013 vintage instead show beautiful varietal characters and approachable acid structures.

‘These wines established our reputation for quality and consistency - year in year out; wines with clean, expressive fruit and compelling value for money.”

Expert Reviews

4 stars - "Vibrant strawberry and orange-peel aromas and tangy juiciness in the mouth. Balance is the key between dryness and lively energy." 4 stars - Tony Love, Sunday Times Magazine, 9 February 2014

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Tempranilllo, 9% Shiraz

Colour

Ripe Pomegranate with a bright pink hue.

Aroma

A lifted, lively perfume of cherry and spice.

Palate

A great palate weight is coupled with ripe berry fruits and strawberry. A generous natural acidity perfectly balances the residual fruit sweetness producing clean flavours and a dry finish.

Food Matching

Perfect for hot summer days with fresh salads and seafood.

Winery Profile

Located in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, West Cape Howe is the most southerly point, rising some 250 metres above the Southern Ocean. It is thought that the first explorers to this coastline were Dutch seafarers in 1627 aboard their 'Fluyt' class vessel "Gulden Zeepaard" (Golden Seahorse).

The winery is named after this magnificent landmark to pay respect not only to the natural beauty of the region, but also in recognition of the extreme influence of the Southern Ocean on the area's viticulture. The rugged coastline is home to some stunning white beaches, sheltered coves and great rock climbing sites.

West Cape Howe Wines is owned by a partnership including Gavin Berry (until 2004, senior winemaker at Plantaganet), and viticulturist, Rob Quenby. It was founded in 1997 and soon became one of the fastest growing wine brands in Western Australia, now producing around 60,000 cases annually. Over time, it has acquired some of the oldest vineyard resources in the state, giving it unrivalled access to the best and most consistent quality fruit that the cool Great Southern wine region has to offer.

West Cape Howe's driving philosophy is to make delicious wines of harmony, balance, structure and flavour - wines that people love to drink.
