Paringa Estate

2017 Estate Pinot Noir, Paringa Estate

Victoria, AustraliaVintage: 2017

Another sensational vintage of Estate Pinot Noir from Paringa.  Powerful aromatics of dark cherries and ripe strawberries tinged with hints of violets soar out of the glass. Ensuing are some anise, lightly toasted cedar, forest floor and spice. Delicious dark cherry, strawberry and anise flavours show terrific intensity and drive across the palate. Supple yet fresh in its feel with nuances of forest floor, dried meats, fresh herbs and spicy cedar in the background. Nicely balanced natural acidity and very polished tannins add class. Superb depth and persistence with a very long savoury conclusion.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.

The vineyard is set in the classic cool climate subregion of Red Hill at an altitude of 146 metres above sea level. The Pinot Noir vines are aged between 15 and 22 years; six clones are planted each with subtle characteristics which impart complexity to the resulting wine. The soil is a deep red volcanic clay that allows dry farming, without irrigation. Founder, Lindsay McCall, still tends to the vineyard characterised by its distinctive Lyre or ‘U’ trellis system which sits on an elaborate steel frame assembly.

Notable Awards

“There’s a plushness to the tannins, a fineness across the medium-bodied palate and a balance throughout. There’s some spiced cherries, woodsy spices and an enticing savoury overlay.”
95 Points – Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion, 01 August 2019

“It’s no more than medium-weight in the glass, though loaded with aromatic punch: bunch and oak-spice, red licorice, wild strawberries wrapped in cloves. It carries more than enough fruit-weight and charm, sapid and ripe, raspberries front and centre. A beautiful pinot noir”  96 Points, Nick Butler, The Real Review

Description

Located in the heart of Victoria’s beautiful Mornington Peninsula, Paringa Estate was founded in 1984 by Lindsay McCall when he purchased a derelict orchard. Lindsay’s passion and fascination with wine began in the mid 1970s and by the mid 1980s he decided to follow his dream by establishing Paringa Estate. The first vintage was in 1988 with just three tonnes of fruit and over the years it has grown considerably, with production now at 16,000 cases. Paringa Estate is one of the most highly awarded boutique wineries in Australia, regularly winning trophies for its Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The collection includes a stunning and precise Pinot Gris, as Lindsay says anywhere capable of growing great Pinot Noir should be capable of growing great Pinot Gris. The wines pay homage to Burgundy in style and James Halliday says Paringa Estate is “one of the best, if not the best, wineries on the Peninsula”.

The hand picked fruit was 100% destemmed and cold soaked for four days prior to the yeast inoculation. The wine spent a total of 21 days on skins in open stainless steel fermenters with gentle plunging. Post fermentation, the wine was aged for 11 months in French oak barrels, of which 35% were new.
