Description
Paringa Estate winery was established by owner/winemaker Lindsay McCall in 1985. Located in the heart of Victoria’s beautiful Mornington Peninsula wine region, the home property has 10 acres (4.2 ha.) of vines planted with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Shiraz and Pinot Gris. The current winery was built in 1998, and houses an outstanding a la carte restaurant on the upper level. In 2014 Paringa Estate managed 55 acres (22 ha.) of vineyard and in an average season the winery processes around 200 tonnes of fruit or 15,000 cases. Paringa Estate is one of the most awarded wineries in Australia, particularly for Pinot Noir and Shiraz.
The 2010 Pinot Noir displays glazed cherry, plum, dried herbs and wild mushroom. The medium bodied palate has a core of dark cherry and plum fruit flavors supported by fine tannin. Overall the wine is a beautifully balanced Paringa Estate ‘Estate’ Pinot Noir with impeccable line and length
Score: 96 Points, James Halliday
