Description
Founder and owner, Lindsay McCall, established the vineyard in 1985. He is lauded as one of the region’s handful of pioneers. He bought an old north-facing orchard and planted The Paringa vineyard. At an elevation of 140 meters it curls around the landscape like a vinous amphitheatre, sheltered from the harsh southwesterly winds. The deep, rich volcanic soils give power, flavour and structure to the wines. The vines are reaching their peak of maturity too, and this is a crucial factor in producing wine of the highest quality. In 2007, Paringa Estate was awarded the innaugral “Best Winery in Australia,” in the ‘James Halliday’s Wine Companion’ book – an astonishing achievement for school teacher come winemaker with no formal training in viticulture or winemaking.
The ‘Estate’ pinot noir comes from a selection of Paringa’s best vineyard sites, and its signature style is elegance and complexity.
The nose is complex and perfumed. Aromas of red cherries mingle with notes of spice. The palate has a luscious core of sweet fruit, fine tannins, and a long, balanced finish.
95 points, Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion “A defining feature of this vintage (apart from lower yields) is accessibility in the wines. Here the Estate offers plushness, personality and satisfaction. Expect juniper and red cherries, with a sprinkling of baking spices infused into a fuller-bodied style. Smooth, supple tannins sashay across the palate.”
