Paringa Estate is one of the jewels of Victoria's Mornington Peninsula wine region, consistently making some of the nation's leading examples of Pinot Noir, Shiraz and Chardonnay. The first plantings took place in 1985, following the purchase of a derelict orchard on Paringa Road.
Paringa Estate's 2018 'Estate' Pinot Noir is another sublime example of Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir that is sure to attract plenty of attention. The nose is complex and perfumed. Aromas of dark cherries mingle with hints of spice. The palate has a luscious core of dark cherry fruit, firm tannins, and a long savoury finish. The impressive structure of this wine will ensure considerable longevity.
"Paringa Estate never misses a beat. The most noteworthy aspect of this wine is the finish, which fans out both beautifully and impressively. There’s no question of this wine’s quality. Poached cherry and strawberry flavours meet woodsy herb, cedar and woodsmoke, though garden herb and fresher berried fruit flavours are also part of the mix. It’s textural, it’s long, it’s balance and it’s delicious. 94 Points Tasted: Jul21 13.5% alc. $65 Screwcap Drink: 2022 - 2029+"- Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front.
