Our Heritage and Wine-Making Philosophy

Manor Estate Winery McLaren Vale
When university graduate and father of three, Peter Cap, first built his gracious McLaren Vale home on a vacant block of land, local residents wondered what was to come and were surprised to see a period-style building that matched the area’s wine-producing claims to fame taking shape. At the time, his primary aim was to create a wonderful home for his family. But it wasn’t long before Peter began to have big dreams that would embrace his love of Wines at their Best, uniting it with his scientific background and business acumen.

Peter’s outgoing personality and thirst for knowledge ensured that his wine brand benefited from relationships with the area’s top growers and vintners, and this was supplemented by his existing knowledge of wine production and the links between the winemaking process and his knowledge of organic chemistry.

This original vision, combined with a winemaking philosophy that minimises the use of additives and allows natural fermentation until the wine reaches the peak of its flavour, remains at the heart of Manor Estate Wine producing methodology, and the results speak for themselves.
