Cape Mentelle Vineyards (often referred to simply as Cape Mentelle) is an Australian winery based at Margaret River, in the Margaret River wine region of Western Australia. One of the oldest wineries in the region, it came to prominence by winning the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy in both 1983 and 1984.
The winery's first vintage was made by David Hohnen, in a small, experimental, rammed-earth shed. Hohnen's brother, Giles, and architect Tom Roberts wanted to prove that rammed earth was a viable material for the area.
