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 2019 '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.
"95 Points. 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. Drink to: 2029. $65.00. Date Tasted: Jan 2021. 13.5% alc."- Jane Faulkner, James Halliday Wine Companion.
