- [Hand Picking vs Machine Picking ???](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/hand-picking-vs-machine-picking/): Picking, it’s a touchy subject in the wine industry, what is best for your grapes?
- [2016 Vintage – That’s a wrap!](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/2016-vintage-thats-wrap/): The 2016 vintage in Margaret River was a challenge this year, untimely rain early in the season and then again during the red ripening coupled with overcast weeks during the tail end of harvest.
- [Vintage 2016 is upon us!](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/vintage-is-upon-us/): Vintage 2016 has begun with the picking of the first batch of Chardonnay! It is always an exciting time of year filled with sunshine, hard work, glorious aromas and of course grapes! Whilst all the grapes grown in our vineyard are destined to be treated with kid gloves and converted into our small batch estate wines, I did sneak out and purchase some locally grown spray free table grapes to make this delicious Sunken Grape Cake. Who knows, I may even share it with Rob and Dylan who are doing all the hard work in the vineyard..............or I could just settle back in the cellar door with a slice and cup of coffee or even a small taste of the Cane Cut Chenin, just for food and wine matching purposes of course!!
- [Ray Jordan and his 97 points!!!](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/ray-jordan-97-points/): Ray Jordan has long been regarded the leading critic on West Australian wine and his book "The West Australian Wine Guide" is keenly anticipated every year.

- [Chardonnay with Lamb???](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/chardonnay-with-lamb/): Summer or winter, lamb is always a favourite in this household. It does however bring with it a heated debate to decide if we should have a Shiraz or a Chardonnay with our Six hour Slow Cooked Lamb. In an attempt to keep all parties happy (especially the chef) we normally end up cracking a bottle of each and discussing the pros and cons of each!!
- [A match made in heaven for our Cane Cut Chenin Blanc](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/a-match-made-in-heaven-for-our-cane-cut-chenin-blanc/): We received this recipe from a regular to the cellar door who quoted "Not Quiet Nigella" as her inspiration. With a quince tree in her garden weighed down with fruit, the simple addition of her home made quince paste added a delicious twist to the "Easy Pear Cake" and made the perfect accompaniment to our Cane Cut Chenin Blanc dessert wine at her recent dinner party.
- [A year in the vineyard](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/a-year-in-the-vineyard/): Our vineyard is a work in progress undergoing a major vine restructuring to enhance and vine health and yield.

## Products
- [2025 Syrah](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/product/2025-syrah/): The palate is juicy and fruit driven with berry coulis and redskins a plenty. Young and vivacious, this wine is built on fruitfulness with do drying tannins and a crisp bright acidity. Serve lightly chilled for the perfect summer red!
- [2025 Chardonnay](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/product/2025-chardonnay/): A beautifully balanced Margaret River Chardonnay showing fresh nectarine and ripe peach layered with toffee apple and toasted almond. The palate is richly textured yet poised, with bright natural acidity leading to a long, creamy, moreish finish. Subtle flint and mineral notes will continue to evolve beautifully with bottle age.
- [2026 Pet Nat](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/product/2026-pet-nat/): Palate: Chenin in its purest form! From 30-year-old vines harvested at perfection, this wine was wild fermented and bottled just before dry to create the fine spritz that it is synonymous with Pet Nat. Preservative-free and full of Nashi pears and mandarins, it is crisp and refreshing with a cleansing, dry finish. To be served chilled.
- [2023 Basket Pressed Cabernet Shiraz](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/product/2023-basket-pressed-cabernet-shiraz/): "Deep ruby with a purple-tinted rim. Blackberry and plum, cured meat and dry earth aromas. Medium to full-bodied, with ripe black fruits early, then leaning into a more savoury expression with cured meat, black olive and earthy undertones. Tannins are firmly built but stay balanced with the palate, bringing focus to the quite long finish." - 90 points, The Real Review, Stuart Knox
- [2025 Crémant de Grace Sparkling Chenin](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/product/2025-cremant-de-grace-sparkling-chenin/): Crisp and refreshing come straight to mind as flavours of crunchy Pink Lady apples and lime zest come through, with touches of pineapple and mango. Acidity and minerality run through the wine, finishing dry and moreish.
- [2023 Basket Pressed Cabernet Franc](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/product/2023-basket-pressed-cabernet-franc/): "Deep, bright purple colour; smoky charry oak-led bouquet; a touch of regional nori. Good concentration of flavour, liberal oak and the tannins are smooth and easy, making for a wine of body and richness that can be enjoyed straight away—but will also keep a few years." 91 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review  
- [2025 Chenin Blanc](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/product/2025-chenin-blanc/): Unfined to show a true expression of our terroir and vegan friendly. Bright acidity gives line and length to this classic Margaret River Chenin Blanc.
- [2021 Cabernet Sauvignon](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/product/2021-basket-pressed-cabernet-sauvignon/): Reviews: "Medium to full ruby-red colour. Blackcurrant, dusty earth and meaty aromatics. Medium-weighted, with dark fruits early, then it builds into a savoury expression. Dusty earth, dark spice and dried meats all layer over the fruit. Tannins have a granular tension, drying the medium-length finish." - 90 points, The Real Review, Stuart Knox
- [2024 Cane Cut Chenin Blanc Dessert Wine](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/product/2024-cane-cut-chenin-blanc-dessert-wine/): Just 138 dozen 375ml bottles produced.
- [2023 Reserve Chardonnay](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/product/2023-reserve-chardonnay/): This is a tiny production wine, but it's great to see Cape Grace putting their energies into producing something special. It was wild fermented into 60% new oak, and although there's been minimal intervention, it shows tremendous complexity. It has a minerally, gun-flinty edge to the grapefruit and slightly cashew-like characters. The texture is quite creamy, but there's a nice edgy acidity and minerality that gives it focus and a linear feel. Lifted florals with a lovely palate structure and deep flavour combinations. 96 Points Cellar 10 years. Ray Jordan Wine
- [2019 Reserve Basket Pressed Cabernet Sauvignon](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/product/2019-reserve-basket-pressed-cabernet-sauvignon/): 97 Points, Ray Jordan "It's nice to be able to hold a wine like this back and release it when it's just starting to show its best form, and this one is. The season in 2019 crept up on people, and before they realised it, it emerged as one of the better years... It has loads of deep, dark fruit characters with a slightly leathery, blackcurrant leafy tobacco character. It really is an excellent wine with good weight as well as structure. Cellar for 20 years."
- [2021 Basket Pressed Shiraz](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/product/2021-shiraz/): "A lighter and most elegant shiraz from a vintage that was conducive to this style. The usual hands-on approach was used to gently handle the fruit before maturation in a mix of barriques and puncheons to keep the oak influence to a minimum. Aromas of dark plummy fruits, with a liberal sprinkle of spices and little black pepper. Smooth and seamlessly structured. Cellar 7 years." 92 Points, Ray Jordan Wine Guide
- [2020 Basket Pressed Cabernet Sauvignon Magnum](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/product/2020-cabernet-sauvignon-magnum/): Limited stock with just 50 magnum bottles produced. Available in a 1.5L magnum size with a Cape Grace wooden box. Rich and inky with dark fruits, cocoa and bay leaf, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon shows classic Margaret River power and poise. 96 points – Ray Jordan. Cellar-worthy and beautifully structured.
- [winesave ® PRO](https://www.capegracewines.com.au/product/winesavepro/): winesave ® is the easiest and most effective solution to keep opened bottles of wine fresh for longer – days, weeks or even months. Made with all-natural high-quality, food-grade argon gas, which is totally inert, completely harmless, colourless, flavourless, odourless, and tasteless. winesave ® is heavier than air and sinks below the air in the bottle to form a perfect layer of protection just above the wine, reducing oxygen absorption.
