Parker Estate Terra Rossa Cabernet 1998

Description

The marriage of Coonawarra’s Terra Rossa over limestone soils with Bordeaux varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, has produced some of Australia’s greatest and longest living wines.  Wines released under the ‘Terra Rossa’ classification, are made from fruit that is grown exclusively on the rich red soils found in Parker’s vineyards at the southern end of Coonawarra. The micro-climate in this location provides an extended ripening period for the grapes, which imparts unique qualities in this range of wines. The combination of these elements, produces ‘Terra Rossa’ wines with wonderful fruit expression, elegance in structure, complexity and excellent cellaring potential.
