Parker Coonawarra Estate

Kidman Block Shiraz

This single block Shiraz is crafted to the highest standards, utilising fruit from one of the Coonawarra’s most outstanding Shiraz vineyards. It epitomises the purity and elegance of cool climate Coonawarra Fruit for this wine comes entirely from Tim Kidman’s vineyard; specifically blocks 1 and 2 which our winemaking team have selected for special treatment due to the exceptional quality. These established vines are 50 plus years old, and rest in classic terra rossa over limestone soils. They are naturally low yielding (approximately 3t-Ha), producing beautifully concentrated fruit that thrives from minimal, hand tended viticulture. After being hand harvested on the 31st of March, 2021 fruit was fermented in open static fermenters for 11 days. Malolactic fermentation was conducted in stainless steel before being barrelled down to premium French oak 30percent new for 16 months maturation. Bottled on 20th January, 2023 and allowed to settle and mature in bottle prior to release in April 2023. Produced by or on behalf of Pinnacle Drinks, part of Endeavour Group Limited.
