Parker Estate produces some of Australia's finest Cabernet Sauvignon wines .It was established by John and Fay Parker in 1985 and its vineyards are located at the Southern end of Coonawarra Strip.

Each vintage small quantities of the best fruit is selected for the Terra Rossa First Growth. If in any one year the grapes do not reach the high standard set, then no Terra Rossa First Growth is made, as was the case in 1992, 1995 and 1997 . In those years the wine released was under the Terra Rossa Cabernet Sauvignon label.
