Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, high acidity, dry
Capel Vale is a Western Australian family estate founded in 1974 at Capel, in the Geographe region south of Perth, and the Regional Series is its middle tier, blended from the state's cooler maritime districts. Western Australian Chardonnay sits at the restrained end of the Australian spectrum: stone fruit and grapefruit rather than tropical sweetness, a nutty, oatmeal note from barrel fermentation and lees stirring, and enough acidity to keep the oak in its place. Expect white peach and nectarine, a cashew edge and a dry, savoury finish — medium-bodied and food-friendly rather than opulent. Serve at 11-12°C. The specific sub-region is not recorded on this bottling, so this note describes the state's style rather than a single district.
