First Growth is only produced in vintages where fruit quality and varietal typicity is deemed to be exceptional. Our ‘Abbey’ estate vineyard is located on this brilliant strip of soil and is predominantly planted to Reynell Selection Cabernet Sauvignon - original cuttings from Bordeaux. These vines, planted in 1985, are the backbone of our First Growth. Harvested during April 2019, fruit for our First Growth was fermented in a 9T closed-static-fermenter for 38 days (fermentation lasting 11 days
Coonawarra
Parker Estate First Growth is always one of the stars of the show in any line-up of prestige Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignons. The aristocratic 2019 reinforces the point with its refined style - full lavoured but more chiselled than the previous vintage. Dense helpings of dark fruit - black cherries, black currants, dark spice and woody, mint-flecked herbs are held nicely in a waft of powdery tannins. Freshening and balancing acidity provides a nice lift to the premium fruit, resulting in a very fine example of Coonawarra Cab'. Cellar for up to ten years.
