Parker Estate’s Abbey vineyard lies at the southern end of the Coonawarra strip and is predominantly planted to Reynell Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, derived from historic Bordeaux cuttings. The site benefits from the cooling influence of the Southern Ocean, extending the ripening season and helping the fruit develop depth while retaining structure and freshness. The 2023 season was notably cool and wet under a strong La Niña pattern, with above-average rainfall requiring careful vineyard management to maintain fruit quality. The resulting wine combines ripe red and dark-fruit character with the savoury, structured profile associated with Coonawarra Cabernet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eSmall parcels of fruit were fermented in closed-top fermenters for 12 days before completing malolactic fermentation in stainless steel. The wine was then matured for 12 months in French oak comprising 50% new barrels alongside second, third and fourth fill oak. This élevage adds spice and structure without obscuring the wine’s core of fruit. The finished wine shows earthy red-fruit aromas, plum spice and violet notes, leading to a supple yet concentrated palate. Fine-grained tannins and spicy oak frame the fruit, while fresh acidity gives the wine definition and balance. At 14.5% alcohol, it combines generosity with the firm structural character expected of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Earthy, floral and richly fruited\u003cbr\u003eRed fruits, mulberry and blackcurrant with plum spice, violets, leafy nuances and integrated roasted-oak characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Supple, structured and concentrated\u003cbr\u003eA powerful core of Cabernet fruit supported by fresh acidity, graphite-like savouriness, fine-grained tannins and spicy French oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Balanced, firm and persistent\u003cbr\u003eBlackcurrant, subtle herbs and savoury oak linger over fine chalky tannins with a poised, structured conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Deep crimson.
