Wendy and Barry Stimpson, originally from England and South Africa, fell in love with Margaret River during their many visits.

Drawn by the region’s pristine natural beauty and world-class wines, they decided to make it their home in 2005.

In 2011, they discovered a stunning property with established vineyards and natural bushland, which became Passel Estate.

The region’s maritime climate plays a crucial role in premium grape growing. It provides ample sunlight for ripening, while cooling sea breezes moderate temperatures.

At Passel Estate, the old-vine Houghton clone Cabernet Sauvignon is planted in a north-south orientation, ensuring even sunlight and warmth on both sides of the canopy during the growing season.

After a cool 14-day fermentation on the skins, with gentle daily pump overs, the wine was carefully separated from the skins and transferred to French Oak barriques, 35% of which were new.

The wine was matured for 10 months in oak, before being lightly fined, filtered and bottled.

Producer’s Tasting Notes

Inky garnet in colour with blue flecks.

A bouquet of blackcurrants, mulberries and glazed cherries, hints of cedar and cassis.

A dense and coating palate, punctuated by coating tannin dripping in black berries and highlighted by violets and boysenberries.

A subtle core of super-fine tannin provides balance to an otherwise powerful onslaught of graphite and red fruits, culminating in a persistent and bristling finish.
