VINTAGE 2010
Winemaker notes:
Deep red colour with bright red tint
Densely packed nose of red and black fruits, complexed by leather, spice and earthy notes with fine French oak.
The palate is rich and solid with sweet fleshy plum fruit and spice flavours driving the palate to a complex and well balanced finish. Good depth and elegant structure all in harmony with the fruit fullness.
Made for extended cellaring for 15 or more years. Decant before serving.

Parker Coonawarra Estate Terra Rossa wines reflect the stylistic approach to creating beautiful wines from the rich terra rossa soils of the region. The unique micro climate of Parker vineyards located in the southern part of Coonawarra, being less prone to frost with longer ripening on the vine, impart unique qualities in the wine. Integral to the style and structure is 7 day warm fermentation followed by maceration on skins.
Aged in new and one year old French oak, the result is fruit expression and elegance in structure to add complexity and cellaring potential.
