Wine Region
Coonawarra, South Australia
Wine Maker
Peter Bissell, Darren Rathbone
The Parker Estate vineyard, situated at the southern end of Coonawarra, with main road frontage, was established in 1985 on the rich Terra Rossa soil on the limestones of Coonawarra and carries Cabernet Sauvignon as the predominant variety, with minor plantings of Merlot, and Petit Verdot.
 
Commercial constraints played no part in the development of Parker Coonawarra Estate. John Parker, whose many years involvement in the wine industry resulted in a desire to produce a premium wine from Australia's premier red wine district culminated with the release of the 1988 "Terra Rossa First Growth" in 1991.
 
In each vintage, only small quantities of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon fruit is selected from the grapes grown on the unique Terra Rossa soil of the Parker Vineyard.
 
Parker Coonawarra Estate wines have achieved an unmatched reputation both within Australia, and in all countries where fine wines are revered for integrity and consistent superb quality.
 
Such is the dedication that if in any one year the grapes do not reach the high standard set, then no First Growth will be made. There has been no compromise, and the tradition perpetuated at Parker Coonawarra Estate continues to produce fine wines from the Terra Rossa soils of Coonawarra.
 
Each vintage small quantities of the best fruit is selected for the Terra Rossa First Growth. If in any one year the grapes do not reach the high standard set, then no Terra Rossa First Growth is made, as was the case in 1992, 1995, 1997, 2002 & 2003 . In those years the wine released was under the Terra Rossa Cabernet Sauvignon label.
 
What the critics have to say!
 
2001 Parker Coonawarra ‘First Growth’ Cabernet Blend
Classic nose; macerated cherries, currants, blackberries, like a big sweet smile, staring straight at you. Chocolate, length, balance, evenness through your mouth, with richness, sweetness and persistence. Very good wine.
