Pour this and your evening just got better. It's a big, plush Australian red that lands like a warm hug. Dark berries up front, a little spice in the background, and a finish so smooth it practically tucks itself in. This is the bottle you open when there's a steak on the grill, the playlist's good, and you've got zero interest in fussing over the wine. Late night craving on a Friday? We'll have it at your door fast.
First whiff is all ripe dark fruit. Think blackberry, black cherry and plum, with a quiet curl of spice and a touch of oak sitting behind it. The Shiraz brings the bold, juicy punch. The Tempranillo slips in some earthy, savoury depth so it never turns jammy or sweet. On the palate it's full and velvety, rich without being heavy, and the tannins (the gentle grippy bit that makes your mouth feel dry) are soft and rounded. Dry, generous, and it glides on the finish.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Parker Coonawarra Estate, set up by John and Faye Parker back in 1985 on Coonawarra's famous strip of terra rossa, the red-over-limestone soil in South Australia that's basically legendary for serious reds. Parker built its name on top-tier Cabernet, so the 'Favourite Son' range is the easygoing, less buttoned-up side of the house. Coonawarra cools down at night, which keeps the fruit fresh and the wine balanced rather than blowsy. Pairing Shiraz with Tempranillo (Spain's signature grape) is the modern, playful Aussie move, and here it just works.
