Tassell Park is situated in the Treeton Valley, four kilometres east of the township of Cowaramup, hub of the Wilyabrup subregion in Margaret River. This is the heart of the country which has given birth to one of the world's great Cabernet Sauvignon appellations. The Tassell Park property is closely managed by a highly skilled viticultural team who spend many hours tending the vines by hand and caring for the local ecosystem to make it all happen. A brilliant rendition of Cabernet Sauvignon with pronounced varietal character and intense aromatics.
Tassell Park's original plantings were established between 1998 and 2001 with the help of local consultants and vineyard workers. The estate has since achieved outstanding success, Tassell Park's wines have won trophies and numerous gold, silver and bronze medals at national and regional wine shows, regularly receiving high praise from the national wine media. Parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon are harvested to a timetable determined by the winemaker and growers on the basis of good tannin development and full physiological ripeness. Following the crush, inoculation and maceration, Tassell Park is vinified and matured in a selection of fine grained oak barriques.
TASTING NOTES
Deep scarlet colour. The hallmark cassis aroma is supported by nuances of cumin and cigar box. Generous flavours offer hints of copious berry fruits and spice, the use of classy Frenchy oak carries these through to a long sustained finish. Delicious drinking now alongside beef, venison or hare.

About the Tassell Park Winery
Back in 1996 when Ian Tassell was planning a retirement hobby and Patricia a country retreat, little did they realise it was going to be the start of Tassell Park Wines
Prior to his retirement from the corporate world in December 2000, Ian was Managing Director of Marketforce, Perth's largest advertising and marketing agency. His retirement signalled an end to a career in sales and marketing spanning some 35 years. Patricia, prior to the arrival of their son Matthew in 1997 worked in radio sales at 94.5FM and had also worked in the advertising and media industry for almost 20 years. Enjoying a passion for good wine they had made many visits to the Margaret River wine region over the years and their love of the area grew as they travelled from Perth numerous times during their wedding preparations in 1996 when they were married at the historical St. Mary's Anglican Church in Cowaramup. This is when the idea of buying a property "down south" became more than just a passing thought. Tassell Park»
