“Parham is named in honour of my Grandfather Bill Parham, who passed away at the ripe old age of 102. This wine is the best of the best of our McLaren Vale & Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon and only 10 barrels of the vintage are set aside for Parham." - GM
Aroma
The aroma displays a lifted fresh herbaceous note that follows on to deep mint, olive, dark chocolate and meaty savoury characters.Palate
The palate is larger than life; intense, deep and concentrated. Although the tannins are strong and grippy, the acidity distinct and the flavours youthful and potent, the wine is balanced and seamless. This wine was made in this style and released young to show the brash intensity of youth.Food Pairing
If you have a week to live, drink it now. Any time you can give this wine will be repaid in ever increasing "aahhh" and "OMG" moments.Vintage Information
The 2016 vintage featured a warm, dry spring that triggered early vine growth. Despite occasional heat spikes and dryness in December, rainfall in late January and early February boosted yields and fruit quality. Many regions saw average to above- average yields and outstanding fruit, with some considering it among the best recent vintages.Wine Making
Matured in new American oak hogsheads for 27 months.Additional
