Tassell Park has now established a reputation for producing one of Margaret River’s best Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon blends.  Our 2009 release continues to show why. With its wonderful spectrum of flavours and aromas ranging from freshly chopped herbs and citrus blossom to zingy lime juice and hints of freshly roasted hazelnuts. This outstanding blend (52% of our trophy winning Sauvignon Blanc grapes with 48% Semillon) is intensely fruit driven and flavoursome.  Seductively wrapped in fine French oak, this complex, crisp and refreshingly dry wine delivers a long lasting and memorable pallet.  It is a fine example of a style that is distinctly Margaret River.

Medium/Semi Sweet · 12.6% Alc/Vol · Bottled June 2010 · Released August 2010

BRAND NEW RELEASE!

Chenin Blanc is justly renowned as a variety well suited to the production of fine quality, fruity white wines.  Our 2010 vintage is another outstanding example of why this bold, fruity and slightly sweeter Margaret River Chenin style makes this our most popular wine.  Alluring aromas fill the senses with fresh mango, passion-fruit and Fuji apple.  The lusciousness continues with a mouth-filling array of even more chunky, ripe tropical fruits (too many to mention here!)  Look out for the surprisingly fresh and lively clean dry finish which will bring you back for more.  As a cellar door visitor once said… "All my taste buds smiled when I tasted the Chenin.  It's a happy wine!"

Sweet · 11.5% Alc/Vol · Bottled and released May 2009

A delightfully soft and smooth wine which delivers slightly more sweetness than our popular Chenin Blanc but is not quite as sweet as a true dessert wine. This fresh new 2009 release features a special blend of our award winning Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grapes. First impressions of citrus and floral aromas lead to a luscious mouth-filling array of tropical fruit salad flavours, enhanced by a gentle, lingering sweetness. Chill well and enjoy while young and fresh.

Dry and oaked · 14.5% Alc/Vol · Bottled December 2008 · Released January 2009

And now for something completely different ... we are all familiar with Merlot and Cabernet Merlot blends but what about a Petit Merlot? Commonly known as blenders to accentuate the finer features of the royal Cabernet Sauvignon here you will find the "blenders" blended with each other! We found this sanguine partnership of 2007 Petit Verdot (51%) and Merlot (49%) while blending our Cabernet Sauvignon and couldn't resist its charms. Aromas of lush ripe berries and fresh violets lead to a host of lively spices and a savoury finish surrounded by velvety tannins. Literally speaking petit merlot is minor or small merlot.  We prefer to call it le grand merlot in recognition of its bold and forthright nature. Enjoy now or mature for at least 5 to 8 years for future indulgence of this unique blend.

Dry and oaked · 13.5% Alc/Vol · Bottled December 2009 · Released July 2010

There’s a lot to be said for a softening influence particularly in long established partnerships. In the classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Merlot plays the Lauren Bacall to Cabernet’s Humphrey Bogart. Cabernet in its youth can be slightly aggressive and rough around the edges, delivering hints of tobacco and earthiness in maturity. Merlot is rich and voluptuous showing berry fruits and a sweet aroma. On their own they are memorable. Together as a blend, they are immediately enjoyable and, as with all things classic, will only get better with age. This 2008 vintage features a traditional blend of 70% of our gold medal winning Cabernet Sauvignon with 30% Merlot and as a new release is already proving to be an outstanding award winner.  Enjoy with your favourite partner, fine food and a classic movie.

This is THE great variety from a region that has become synonymous with world class wines. An exemplary 2008 vintage has delivered a very worthy follow up to what was described as our most outstanding Cabernet yet in 2007.  The cool and even 2008 season produced a brilliant wine with pronounced varietal character and intense aromatics.   The hallmark cassis aroma is supported by nuances of cumin and cigar box.  Generous flavours offer hints of many berry fruits and spices and the use of classy Frenchy oak carries these through to a long sustained finish.  Though this wine was released early (due to demand after the very quick sell-out success of our previous vintage) it is delicious drinking now and will well and truly reward the patient for 8 or more years.

Dry and oaked · 14.5% Alc/Vol · Bottled September 2009 · Released November 2009

Tassell Park’s Shiraz is our most consistently well produced and awarded red.  Year in and year out the bold fruit quality delivers an outstanding wine.  Vintage 2008 was cool and even resulting in a Shiraz with elegance and beguiling aromatics.  An abundance of black pastille and fleshy plum with exotic spice fragrances are followed up with a palate that is rich, silky and mouth filling. Hints of mocha or is it dark chocolate mingle with lively tannins to add complexity and intrigue.  Another early release to satisfy the ongoing demand for this popular variety, vintage 2008 is a drink now delight but its powerful flavours and great length indicate a long rewarding future for those with patience.  Will cellar well for 8 years or more.

Medium/Sweet and unoaked · 14.5%  Alc/Vol · Bottled November 2009 · Released January 2010

Complementing the Simply White as our sweetest white, this our sweetest red. No harsh tannins here - indulge in a smooth and fruity unwooded red. Made entirely from our estate grown vintage 2009 Shiraz grapes, the palate is soft with luscious berry sweetness. Look out for the surprisingly lively finish as hints of fresh spice add an interesting complexity. This versatile wine should be enjoyed while young and fresh – as it comes – or chill well to suit any occasion. A great bbq, picnic or simply anytime red wine.

Dry and oaked · 13.5% Alc/Vol · Bottled December 2007 · Released May 2008

A cooler and variable summer season during Vintage 2006 resulted in uneven ripening throughout the red vines.  A reduction in the number of 2006 varieties bottled under our premium red wine labels gave us this first time opportunity to produce a fruity, medium level wine which not only pleases the taste buds but the hip pocket too! Identified by a simpler label design, this is a delightful blend of all our award winning red grape varieties – Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. The wine delivers a soft pallet, with lively tannins on the edge filled with rich plum fruit sweetness.  Already a cellar door favourite, at only a bottle by the case it’s the perfect wine for every day enjoyment.  Stock up now!

Dry and oaked · 13.5% alc/vol · Bottled December 2009 · Released January 2010 · 1,468 individually numbered bottles

Our ‘Private Bin’ label is used only in years where an exceptional season results in a variety produced in minute quantities to enjoy ourselves.  However, occasionally we are prepared to share them with you.  Superior quality fruit is patiently fermented and matured in new oak over extended months and the wine exemplifies only the finest characters which are a true reflection of the individual variety.  A very, very limited number are bottled and individually numbered labels mean each bottle has its own personality.  Not every variety or vintage is bottled under this label, so you can be sure that when it is, you have found something very special indeed.

This complex wine was whole bunch pressed directly to barrels. The gently released juice was left to ferment using natural yeasts and then matured in new and once used Burgundian oak barriques for 11 months. Complex and rewarding it has the classic Chardonnay aromas of roasted hazelnuts, toasted bread and lime juice. The palate is rich and complex with great lingering length. Flavours of cashew, cinnamon and nutmeg compete with hints of pear drops, crème brulée and poached quinces. This wine will continue to evolve for 5 years or more.

A new release, this is our first white wine to be bottled under the 'Private Bin' label and is a worthy follow up to our very first Chardonnay (vintage 2008) - winner of the Best Estate Grown White Trophy at the 2009 West Australian Wine Industry Awards.

Our ‘Private Bin’ label is used only in years where an exceptional season results in a variety produced in minute quantities to enjoy ourselves.  However, occasionally we are prepared to share them with you.  Superior quality fruit is patiently fermented and matured in 100% new oak over extended months and the wine exemplifies only the finest characters which are a true reflection of the individual variety.  A very, very limited number are bottled and individually numbered labels mean each bottle has its own personality.  Not every variety or vintage is bottled under this label, so you can be sure that when it is, you have found something very special indeed.

Still considered an exotic grape variety in the West due to its scarce appearances as a varietal, this unusual grape variety can make extraordinary wine.  At Tassell Park it has long been valued for its contribution to our premium wine range - the 2004 vintage of this classic Bordeaux black grape variety launched our 'Private Bin' label.  This complex example from vintage 2008 has subtlety and power.  The aroma has hints of licorice, leather and voilets underpinned by smoke and spice from quality French oak.  The palate is silky in texure with velvety tannins balanced by a firm acid structure typical of Petit Verdot.  The wine has a myriad of flavours including black pastilles, olives and coffee.  A subtle lick of oak carries the wine through to a long lingering after taste. This is one single variety we will only bottle in an exceptional season ... here is our second offering of a wine that truly sets itself and us apart from the rest.  Youthful and vibrant now, it will cellar for five plus years.

“…  a Gold medal at Sydney ... should indicate that this is a beauty – it is.  Has a beautiful aroma of blackcurrant, cedar and tobacco leaf with a fine floral infusion.  Concentrated and immensely powerful palate retains an elegance and style of the best cabernets." Ray Jordan's 2010 WA Wine Guide

“Not satisfied with making great whites in the grassy spectrum, Tassell Park has produced this beautiful red from the Treeton area east of the Bussell Highway.  It is very dark and youthful in colour, has a rich blackcurrant bouquet that combines with cedary oak.  A big, brooding style, it has great fruit intensity on the palate, which complements the really good oak, and has great impact and length.  A wine for the cellar, but should drink well from next year (2010).” Scoop Magazine "Best Varietal/Pick of the Tasting" Winter Warmers Red Wine Review 2009

From an exceptional 2007 vintage, this rich wine shows the hallmarks of classy cool climate Shiraz. Ripe raspberry and dark plum fruit is interwoven with smokey oak which gives hints of hickory, anise and nutmeg. The palate is soft and rich with a myriad of flavours. Poached damson fruit is backed by a spine of silky tannins that give the wine volume and an enriching graininess. The flavours linger and give way to hints of  licorice, leather and Christmas cake. This wine will reward cellaring for 5-8 years.

Sweet, oaked, fortified wine • 18.5% Alc/Vol • Bottled September 2008 • Released December 2008

This is our very first bottling of a fortified wine or Port as they are traditionally known. Patiently matured in oak casks for just over 4 vintages this is a smooth blend of our award winning, estate grown Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The result - a luscious tawny style fortified wine. The slim, elegant 375mL bottles feature a cork closure with an individually hand waxed seal. Don't be afraid to chill during the Summer season - it's delightful!
