Don’t miss this heavy hitter if you are big into dark and broody wines! Seriously complex like a femme fatale, Terra Rossa First Growth will hook you in with the first sip. Paying homage to the Old World/Bordeaux philosophy, First Growth stands for the best parcels of Coonawarra from Parker Estate. Wines bearing this name are only made in the best seasons and during vintages that are deemed age-worthy beyond 15 years. Spectacular aromas of dried eucalyptus leaf with red and blackcurrant, mint, followed by layers of cedar and tobacco. The redcurrant fruit flavour carries through, with cassis, blackberry and touches of smoked cedar, leather and mocha. Pair this up with a Waygu Ribeye and mushroom sauce, finish the bottle with chocolate churros – your pals will come knocking for more!
