25.01.2022 On the tails of our celebration of Sauvignon Blanc we're reminded that today is International Chardonnay Day! May has certainly been a fine month for white wine enthusiasts worldwide. Here at Passel Estate, we think every day is a reason to celebrate chardonnay, so join us in celebrating chardonnay all week with special treats and offers for chardonnay lovers that visit us at our Margaret River Tasting Room. To whet your palate, here are just some of the accolades our curr...ent vintage of 2017 Passel Estate Chardonnay has garnered: Halliday Wine Companion 2021 - 94 Points ‘’White peach and melon fruit are cradled by well balanced and integrated oak, and creamy cashew notes.’’ International Wine Challenge 2020 - 94 Points ‘’A wine with structure, energy and clarity. Gorgeous notes of white blossom and a zesty focus. Great length.’’ Australian & New Zealand Boutique Wine Show 2019 - Silver Medal Joe Czerwinski Robert Parker Wine Advocate - 90 Points Passel Estate's 2017 Chardonnay starts off toasty and moderately oaky on the nose, but it delivers the fruit flavours to back it up. Hints of pear and melon, plus notes of pineapple and lime provide plenty of flesh in this medium bodied wine. Despite coming from a cool vintage, it's ripe and generous enough to warrant serious interest."

25.01.2022 Whilst we love the red wine and comfort food of the cooler months here in the Margaret River region, we're very much looking forward to the warmer weather that has been gracing our Estate with the arrival of spring. As we emerge from our cosy retreat, so does our vineyard. The warmth and direct sunlight has coaxed fresh growth out of hiding and will be essential in ripening the berries that will soon become our 2021 vintage.

23.01.2022 It is with great excitement to share with you that our 2017 Passel Estate Cabernet Sauvignon has just been awarded a GOLD medal (95 points) in the 2020 Decanter World Wine Awards. Tasting notes from the expert team at Decanter include: "Smoky black fruit nose. The palate is well-balanced and nicely textured with seamless tannins and pleasant notes of dark, damp woods, cassis and oak spice. A dark horse, not showy but quietly going very well."... The Decanter Awards are one of the world's most revered accolades a wine can gather, so it is a great testament to the beautiful terroir and nurturing of our vines, along with the expert craftsmanship they receive once they reach the winery and our winemaking team, Bruce Dukes and Remi Guise.

17.01.2022 How well do you know your neighbours? It's safe to say that we love sitting over the road from ours.

17.01.2022 Looking for a way to #wanderoutyonder in The Margaret River Region without straying too far from a Tasting Room? Our new Nature and Wine Walk might be just the private tour experience that you've been searching for! We'll introduce you to the local flora and fauna that co-exist in our vineyard ecosystem. You might even be lucky enough to spot one of the critically endangered western ringtail possums hiding in our trees!

You see, part of the proceeds from every booking goes directly towards further conservation efforts at the estate.

16.01.2022 Can you believe that the last weekend of September is already upon us? This month, though marked by the grand change in season from winter to spring, has flown by here quite quickly. We're now enjoying warm afternoons here in The Margaret River Region and such sunshine calls for a regional favourite: chardonnay!

12.01.2022 If you haven't already met, we're thrilled to introduce you to Passel Estate owner, Wendy. We sat down with Wendy recently to talk all things Passel Estate wines for this weeks' instalment of our Q&A series. Here's what she had to say... Which Passel Estate wine do you call a favourite? "This is like asking me to tell you my favourite child, how can I pick just one?! They are all so elegant and beautiful, I genuinely love and am proud of each of them. I do drink an aw...ful lot of the chardonnay though, as it is my daily go to glass at the end of the day.". Do you have a favourite time of day here at the Estate? "Barry and I fell in love with the property years ago, it really is magical throughout the day....In the early morning there are so many birds, and the gorgeous ecualyptus scents in the bushland, while the mid afternoon is often really calm over the dam and in among the vines" How do you enjoy downtime? "Give me an afternoon with a glass of Passel Estate chardonnay and my cello, my dogs and I'm in heaven". Have a question for our team? Please feel welcome to comment below or send us a direct message.

06.01.2022 Have you ever watched the sun set over a Margaret River vineyard? As Wendy, our Estate owner explains, we wanted visitors to be able to witness the tranquil beauty of the vineyard and tasting room as the sun sets over the vines, alongside an intimate discovery of our wines and our story, while relaxing at the end of the day. I think it is a very romantic experience and one you cannot find anywhere else in Margaret River..
