Allyson Parsons

2005 Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Craneford Allyson Parsons Cabernet Sauvignon from the Barossa Valley showcases a beautiful deep red color that immediately captures the eye. This 2005 vintage presents an inviting experience with a medium-bodied profile that perfectly balances richness with approachability. The wine exhibits medium acidity, lending it a vibrant character, while the fruit intensity is prominently expressed through luscious notes of blackcurrant, plum, and a hint of dark cherries. Tannins are notable yet smooth, providing a structured backbone that enhances the wine's complexity. The dryness of this Cabernet Sauvignon is well-integrated, making it a delightful companion for hearty dishes or an enjoyable sip on its own.

South Australia

From juicy, full-bodied Shiraz and bold Rhône-style blends to deliciously buttery, oak-touched Chardonnay and surprisingly elegant Rieslings, South Australia is renowned for its wide array of crowd-pleasing wines. The key is the state's diverse geography and climate. With hot, dry regions like Riverland and cool, coastal areas like the Adelaide Hills, winemakers have an incredible range of grapes and styles at their disposal. South Australia is responsible for more than half of Australia's total wine production and makes some of the country's most prominent wine labels. It is also home to world-famous regions like Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Clare Valley.
