Cascabel 13 Items

Cascabel Vineyard and Winery are located on the slopes of the Sellicks Hill Range, only 3 km from the sea, overlooking the cooling Gulf Saint Vincent, at the southern end of the historical wine region of McLaren Vale in South Australia. The property of 5 hectares in total (12.3 acres) is planted predominantly with the red varieties Tempranillo and Mourvèdre, with a few rows of Shiraz, Grenache, Carignan, Cinsault, and Graciano added to the mix. The French white varieties Roussanne and Viognier complete the plantings.

Vignerons and owners, Duncan Ferguson and Susana Fernandez, are qualified experienced winemakers and have extensive winemaking experience in Australia, Spain, France, Italy, Germany and New Zealand. This not only gives them a thorough grounding in many different styles but also an interest in producing wines in with a complexity and finesse beyond simple combinations of fruit and oak. They are highly committed to “in house production” with traditional European winemaking techniques using only their own grapes. As it is one of the most crucial steps in the winemaking process, the participation in every step of the winemaking process, from hand picking to bottling and packaging, with their own equipment, gives full control over the quality and maintains the individuality of each wine.
