Paringa Estate2018 Peninsula Shiraz, Paringa Estate
Victoria, AustraliaVintage: 2018
This is fabulous cool climate shiraz, that is achingly drinkable and great value for money. The Peninsula label represents the first tier in the Paringa Estate range and are sourced from the Estate managed vineyards in Red Hill, and from a few other carefully selected vineyards around the Peninsula. These wines are an exceptional expression of the Mornington Peninsula style, with an emphasis on lively fruit.
In recent years Paringa has renewed its focus in ensuring the Peninsula range over-delivers on quality and we love the quote from the great James Halliday: “The quality of these wines are often equal to many other vineyards best”
In the glass, a bouquet of spicy blackberry fruit along with lifted floral viognier aromatics lead onto a fruit-driven palate of black fruits, black pepper and fine-grained tannins and silky texture. A medium-bodied wine with texture and power but with a fineness that reflects its cool climate origin.

“I like pepper in my shiraz and Paringa Estate is always a good place to find it. It’s clearly evident in this release, both black pepper and white, though even in tandem the total remains at modest not-ridiculous levels. It’s otherwise berried, red and black, with a whisper of creamy oak. Acidity is both refreshing and slightly cranberried. All up it’s an excellent wine to drink, all squeaky-clean, polished and peppery as it is.” 92 points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
