- Aromas: Highly expressive with red currant, dark cassis, black olive, dried mint, and a touch of subtle spiced oak.
- Palate: Juicy and structured with bright blackcurrant, blackberry, clean natural acidity, and fine, gravelly tannins.
- Style: Contemporary and approachable Coonawarra Cabernet that trades heavy weight for fruit buoyancy and immediate drinkability.
- Winemaking: Sourced from select estate and grower blocks, fermented in stainless steel, and matured in seasoned French oak to preserve fresh regional character.
- Cellaring: Purposefully built for immediate enjoyment to maximize its primary fruit energy, but will hold well for 3 to 5 years.
- Food Pairing: Sensational with wood-fired pepperoni pizza, gourmet beef burgers, grilled lamb cutlets, or a classic char-grilled steak.
This is a cracking Coonawarra Cabernet that dials back heavy weight to focus on bright dark fruits and a seamless, velvety texture. It is a fantastic, high-pedigree red to open for a casual steak night
Parker Estate
Parker Coonawarra Estate was established in 1985 by John and Faye Parker, the culmination of a career-long fascination with one of Australia's most celebrated wine regions. Today, the privately owned estate remains steadfastly committed to John's founding vision — producing the most faithful and compelling expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from the renowned Terra Rossa soils of Coonawarra.
In the decades since, Parker Coonawarra Estate has built one of the most consistent records of excellence in Australian wine, accumulating medals, trophies and accolades across more than a quarter of a century. Among the most notable: a Five Star rating from James Halliday and a Langton's Classification V for Excellence — recognition that places it firmly among Australia's most distinguished producers.
