Paringa Estate Shiraz 2017

This wine is classic cool climate shiraz. Aromas of dark cherries and damson plums with underlying notes of black pepper and spice, lead onto a flavoursome palate, which is savoury and textured. Fine-grained tannins give structure and balance.

Matthew Jukes Top 100 Australian Wines “This is a wine style which often confuses people, but as more and more wine lovers taste this otherworldly-shaped wine they all fall for its charms. With pepper spice, a decent amount off new oak (28% new French for 18 months), and a dark, inky colour one might consider that this all, so far, makes sense. But then add to it a fruit texture that is only ever associated with Pinot Noir and a flavour which tastes like an Hermitage made from Vosne-Romanée fruit and you can imagine the confusion. Let me tell you that this is an experience that you do not want to miss though, because this is a wine like no other and it has never failed to gain immense scores in my notes”.
