False Cape Wines

False Cape Wines

False Cape Wines

The story of False Cape Wines began in 1999, when Jamie and Julie Helyar planted the very first vines. The winery enjoyed its first vintage in 2003 and later opened the cellar door in December 2019 just prior to the Kangaroo Island bushfires. Since its creation, the cellar door has been the perfect location to enjoy stunning vineyard views and beautiful native gum trees along the picturesque Wilson River. The custom-built rustic charm of the recycled wood, jetty timbers, local limestone and wood fires all come together to create a cosy, warm and relaxed atmosphere for anyone who visits.

On the beautiful site you will find a huge deck and sprawling lawn space for summertime gatherings, including a nature play area and basketball court to keep the kids entertained while you enjoy some much-needed relaxation with a glass of wine. False Cape Wines offers delicious platters, homemade pies, a kid’s menu, summer salads and winter curries that complement the premium wines, all handcrafted by grapes grown on the False Cape vineyard.

Tasting Notes

Cabernet Sauvignon
⇐ Cabernet Sauvignon

This cabernet sauvignon exhibits characters of blackcurrant and mulberry with wonderful depth of fruit, subtle oak and an elegant structure. With careful cellaring this wine will age gracefully over the next eight to ten years. Pair with marinated rib-eye steak and roasted vegetables.

Pinot Grigio
⇐ Pinot Grigio 

This beautiful white wine displays classic aromas of nashi pear and rose petals with hints of lemon. The palate is fresh and juicy, with flavours of fresh pear and a lingering crisp finish. Pair with salt and pepper squid or prawns with a garden fresh salad.

Riesling
⇐ Riesling

This stylish riesling shows classic aromas of lime and spring flowers and a palate bursting with citrus flavours, followed by a long dry finish. A perfect
 to freshly caught Kangaroo Island whiting

Shiraz
⇐ Shiraz

This stunning shiraz displays both depth and structure. Discover lifted aromatics of pepper and spice, with a soft and supple palate and long seamless finish that will see it drinking well over the next five to six years. Pair with a traditional Australian barbecue of lamb chops or spicy sausages.
