2008 The Paringa Pinot Noir, Paringa Estate
Mornington Peninsula, Australia
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.

Paringa Estate was founded in 1984 by Lindsay McCall when he purchased a derelict orchard in 1984 on Paringa Road, Red Hill South. Lindsay continued his day job of teaching while he set about planting the first vines in 1985 – the first vintage was in 1988 and was just a mere 3 tonnes. In 1996, Lindsay gave up teaching to focus entirely on Paringa Estate and making great wines. Twenty-five years on the production is now 200 tonnes and Paringa Estate is one of the most highly awarded wineries in Australia regularly winning gold trophies for their Shiraz, Pinot Noirs and Chardonnay.
