Passel Estate is a boutique, family-owned vineyard in Margaret River, known for its small-batch, sustainably produced wines and commitment to conservation. The estate is set within a protected bushland sanctuary, home to native flora and fauna, including a relocated family of endangered Western Ringtail Possums. The vineyard was established in 1994 and produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, and Chardonnay, with a focus on low-yield, high-quality fruit.
Renowned winemaker Bruce Dukes applies his expertise to craft elegant, structured wines that reflect the vineyard’s unique terroir. Passel Estate is a certified member of Sustainable Winegrowing Australia, with vineyard practices designed to maintain biodiversity and promote soil health. The result is wines of purity and depth, made in limited quantities and available exclusively through the estate.
