After a highly successful seven years,West Cape Howe founders Brenden and Kylie Smith moved on, selling the business to a partnership including Gavin Berry (until 2004, senior winemaker at Plantagenet) and viticulturist Rob Quenby. As well as existing fruit sources, West Cape Howe now has the 80-ha Lansdale Vineyard, planted in 1989, as its primary fruit source. In March ’09 it purchased the 7700-tonne capacity Goundrey winery and 237-ha Goundrey estate vineyards from CWA; the grapes from these plantings will be purchased by Accolade Wines (the new owner of CWA) for years to come. The move vastly increases West Cape Howe’s business base, and facilitates contract-winemaking to generate cash flow. Exports to the UK, the US, Denmark, Germany, Singapore and Hong Kong.
