Parker Terra Rossa Cabernet Sauvignon, 2017

The marriage between Coonawarra soils and the noble Cabernet Sauvignon grape have long been known to produce wines of outstanding quality and longevity. This wine has benefited from the terra rossa over limestone soils of our ‘Abbey’ estate vineyard located in southern Coonawarra. The unique microclimate within this part of the region produces an extended ripening period which tightens the tannin structure and increases the fruit density.
