This singular Coonawarra estate established by John Parker in 1985 generated some terrific wines all through the 1990s, but only extremely recently extra its own winemaking facility. The wines are created by Peter south australia wine guide xzz Lehmann . The target of manufacturing is a single premium wine only made in prime vintages – a Bordeaux-like method that is also reflected in the provocative identify, Terra Rossa Initially Growth. In other many years (contrary to Medoc classed growths) only the 2nd wine, Terra Rossa Cabernet Sauvignon, is launched. Very first Growth is primarily based on Cabernet Sauvignon but also involves Merlot and Cabernet Franc and is aged in a hundred% new French oak. It is thoroughly ripe and concentrated, if at occasions a tiny oaky, with an intense pure fruit core wed to ripe but effective, textured tannins – it takes the best component of a decade to unfurl. The 2nd wine, which is now aged exclusively in French oak, has lately been only a shade behind, nudging four stars. A Merlot is also produced but is only out there in really little quantities direct from the winery. Entry degree wines underneath the Coonawarra Series label include things like a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Shiraz.
