Parker Estate Terra Rossa Merlot

Deep purple core with bright red rim. An aromatic nose of mulberry and plum with earthy undertones and a hint of spice. Generous and rich palate of blackberry, chocolate and a touch of red liquorice. Bright acidity and fine, chalky tannins blend into a smooth, lingering finish. The fruit for this wine is sourced from our Parker Estate ‘Abbey’ vineyard; particularly, the 17 rows known as ‘Terry’s Block’. The ‘Abbey’ vineyard is terra rossa over a limestone soil base which consistently produces low yielding vines, resulting in fruit with intense flavour and considerable depth. The Terra Rossa Merlot is made in limited quantities, and only in those vintages that are deemed to be outstanding.
