Passel Estate

Wendy and Barry Stimpson bought this Ellen Brook Road vineyard in 2011 — originally planted in 1994 with Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz — on what they describe as pure emotion. Viticulturist Tim Quinlan, a former botanist with three decades in the industry, manages the ironstone gravel loams year-round. Winemaker Bruce Dukes handles the small range, certified under Sustainable Winegrowing Australia.
