A pioneer of the Western Australia wine scene, Capel Vale was one of the earliest producers in the region and it wears its feathers with pride. Founder Peter Pratten was the first person to identify and refine the viticultural potential of all the best cool climate regions in Western Australia; Geographe, Margaret River, Pemberton and Mount Barker.
The company is still family owned and managed, and from its creation in 1974 to recent new and exciting developments guided by Peter’s son Simon as CEO, Capel Vale has always been at the forefront of the Western Australia wine scene. Terroir is king at Capel Vale, and while the wines are made to suit a variety of consumer tastes and needs, the emphasis is always on balance, complexity, elegant fruit flavours and regional expression.
