Capel Vale's Pemberton vineyard is situated on fertile, deep karri loams, which produce fruit of outstanding flavour and complexity.
Situated directly south of Capel on the Darling Plateau, Pemberton experiences a significant cooling influence from the Southern Ocean, but summer days are warm. The region has one of the highest rainfalls in the South West, which feed into the streams that flow all year round, providing the vineyard with pure, high quality water.
"...produce fruit of outstanding flavour and complexity."
The very overcast growing season on top of the southern Darling plateau provides Pinot Noir with ideal flavors yet enables good skin colour to be achieved . The white grapes of Sauvignon blanc and Semillon produce strong mid palate “fruit salad” flavours with less herbaciousness than elsewhere, while Chardonnay produces a wine unexcelled in purity, ideal for restrained barrel fermentation.
