Destination: ‘Cascabel, McLaren Vale’



Cascabel Winery is located on a gentle slope, overlooking the cooling Gulf Saint Vincent, at the southern end of McLaren Vale. It is planted, predominantly, with the Spanish grape varieties Tempranillo, Monastrell, Graciano, Grenache and Cariñena. Winemakers/vignerons/owners, Duncan Ferguson and Susana Fernandez, are highly committed to “in house production” with traditional European winemaking techniques, using handpicked, dry grown, low yielding grapes. The results are wines that reflect variety and soil, as well as the personality of the owners. Completely independent, small and functional, Cascabel is fully equipped and designed to handle every step of winemaking processes, from crushing the grapes to bottling the wine.
