Paringa Estate The Paringa Pinot Noir 2022
£68.25
The wine
The summit of the estate: single vineyard Pinot Noir from the original amphitheatre block. Rich, powerful aromas of spice and dark cherry combine with charry oak and barrel-ferment mocha and coffee characters; the palate is ripe and rich with firm, fine-grained tannins of excellent texture and length. One of the Mornington Peninsula's grandest reds, for game birds and great occasions.
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.
