Parker Estate Terra Rossa Cabernet Franc 2025

This is a new release for the Parker Estate and an exciting one, as Cab Franc done well is a delicious style. From the Estate’s Abbey Vineyard, maturation was for seven months in a mix of older oak, 400-litre eggs and 500-litre puncheons. 120 dozen made. Dark vibrant purple in colour, red fruits are to the fore here. We have dried herbs, raspberries and cherries. This is a wine of medium length, which is fresh and attractive and delivers delicious drinking, even at this early stage. A line fine of acidity runs through to sleek tannins. Enjoy this over the next six to eight years.
