The wine

The single vineyard flagship white, from the estate's original amphitheatre site. A complex floral lift of citrus and stone fruit carries delicate lees aromas; the round, textured palate of fleshy stone fruits and savoury, nutty oak is harmoniously balanced by fine natural acidity. Peninsula Chardonnay at the very top of its game, drinking beautifully with bottle age.

The producer

Paringa 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.
