CASSEGRAIN WINERY ..............................................................................................................www.cassegrainwines.com.au

Cassegrain Wines is a marriage of traditional French style and innovative Australian winemaking techniques, delivering wines of elegance and finesse that showcase regional varietal characteristics.

With a French winemaking heritage dating back to the 17th century, a passion for wine is in the blood of John Cassegrain, owner and Chief Winemaker of Cassegrain Wines. It is a passion that delivers a diverse selection of beautiful wines enhanced by Johns ability to source the most appropriate fruit for the wine.

The largest producer in NSW's Hastings River region, Cassegrain Wines recognises the importance of terroir in determining grape characteristics and, as such, selects the best fruit from other wine regions to support its own impressive vineyard production,

Committed to sourcing varieties from where they grow best, Cassegrain Wines leads the way in showcasing what new and emerging regions have to offer consumers. This is typified by the winery being the first commercial producer in Australia of Chambourcin, a grape identified as being ideally suited to the Hastings River location. Cassegrain continues to be one of the few producers of this rare variety.

Bringing French passion and style to a modern Australian lifestyle, Cassegrain has developed a diverse group of refined wines fulll of regional flavours and nuances, offering a true representation of the region of their origin.

Limited Release Durif 2006

This Durif is deep black in colour with an intense purple hue. Aromas of violets, espresso, and ripe blackberries evoke the essence of luxuriant, concentrated fruit.

On the palate, this vibrant wine displays flavours of mulberries, sweet cherries and mocha, entwined with star anise and an explosion of vanillan oak. A full-bodied wine with a firm structure, which supports a substantial lingering finish.

This wine will drink well now, but will also be marvellous in 5 to 8 years.

Limited Release Tempranillo 2007

This vibrant Tempranillo is deep ruby red in colour with a purple hue. Aromas of blackcurrant, mint and violets entwine seductively on the nose.

Vanillan oak is beautifully married with raspberries and mocha creating an explosion of flavours on the juicy, concentrated palate.

Noble Cuvee (375ml)

Deep golden in colour, the nose exhibits intense honey, apricot and marmalade notes which follow through onto the palate which is rich and viscous with a refreshing acidic after palate.

The strong marmalade and apricot flavours and rich tastes of this wine combine superbly with luscious desserts, richer creamy cheeses and blue cheeses.

Old Yarras Tawny Port (500ml)

Old Yarras is an aged Tawny Port produced in traditional Australian style and is named after the town of Yarras on the upper reaches of the Hastings River in New South Wales. This is where the French Cassegrain family first settled upon moving to Australia in 1952.

Old Yarras is well matured and very complex. It is tawny amber in colour and the bouquet is generous and rich. There is both elegance and depth of flavour on the palate where the sweetness is perfectly balanced by aged brandy spirit. It is ideal with cheese, fruits and coffee after dinner.
