Winemaking:
Paringa Estate Pinot Noirs have now collected 34 Wine Show Trophies – including Best Pinot Noir at both 2004 Royal Melbourne & Adelaide Wine Shows, Best Pinot Noir at the 2005 & 2006 Victorian Wine Shows. This wine has been made from fruit grown on our unique site at Paringa Estate.
Wine Notes:
This wine is made up of barrels which were selected as clearly superior at the time of blending and bottling. The wine has rich powerful aromas of spice and dark cherry, combined with charry oak, secondary barrel ferment mocha/coffee characters that will integrate further to become more Burgundian like with bottle age. On the palate the wine has rich ripe fruit, firm fine grained tannins helping provide excellent texture and length. An outstanding Pinot that will reward careful cellaring, 6-10 years.
