Our Wines

When the original vineyard was planted at Cassegrain in 1980 it pioneered the revival of Winemaking in the Hastings River Region where the temperate maritime climate is ideally suited to the production of soft and elegant table wines.

This interest in New and Emerging Wine Regions continues today as Cassegrain strives to continually evolve its wines and recognise the importance that terroir plays in determining grape characteristics. Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from the cool climate of Tumbarumba; Chardonnay from the cool, high altitude areas of the New England region as well as the maritime region of Hastings River; and Shiraz from lower altitude sites in New England and Cowra.

Grapes from established regions are also sourced, particularly those varietals for which the region is renowned, such as Semillon from Hunter Valley. Often, the winemakers will blend wines produced from grapes grown in different regions: this marriage enables the winemakers to build in layers of flavour and complexity.

All of our wines continue to be made on site at our Hastings River Winery by our dedicated winemaking team, headed by John Cassegrain.
