Paringa Estate Pinot Gris 2025

The wine
Lindsay McCall's logic: anywhere that grows great Pinot Noir should grow great Pinot Gris, and Paringa proves it. Lifted fresh-cut pear and green apple lead to a refreshing palate of crisp ripe pear and vibrant citrus, richly flavoured with lovely mid-palate texture and balance. Peninsula precision in a grape too often treated casually.
The producer
Paringa Estate
View all Paringa Estate winesParinga Estate began in 1984, when schoolteacher Lindsay McCall bought a derelict orchard in the heart of Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. The first vintage, in 1988, amounted to just three tonnes of fruit; today the estate produces 16,000 cases and stands among the most highly awarded boutique wineries in Australia.
The wines pay homage to Burgundy in style: trophy-winning Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and remarkable cool-climate Shiraz, alongside a stunning, precise Pinot Gris. As Lindsay puts it, anywhere capable of growing great Pinot Noir should be capable of growing great Pinot Gris.
James Halliday calls Paringa one of the best, if not the best, wineries on the Peninsula. The range steps from the charming Peninsula tier through the Estate Series to The Paringa single vineyard wines, the pinnacle of the property.
