Parker Coonawarra Estate - '95 Block' - Cabernet Sauvignon | Australian Red Wine

Harvested on the 11th of April, the fruit was then fermented in a 9T closed static fermenter for 13 days before undergoing extended skin contact for a further 28 days. Extended maceration helps to achieve optimal ageing potential and colour extraction. Malolactic fermentation was conducted in stainless steel before being barrelled down to 60% new French oak Barriques and Hogsheads for 18 months maturation. The higher levels of new oak used in this wine assist with creating fine grained tannins and structure, thus enhancing cellaring potential.
