Paringa’s and arguably Australia's top Pinot Noir – made from 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.

Why we love it: Powerful, spicy, stylistically Burgundian – seriously good.
