2009 Peninsula Shiraz, Paringa Estate

Mornington Peninsula, Australia

Co-fermented with 5% Viognier and aged for 11 months in seasoned French oak barriques. In the glass, it is an opaque dark red black tinged colour with a bright purple-red hue. Plum and liquorice aromas intermix with smoky vanillin cedar, earth and pepper notes. The pretty, light to medium weight palate is elegantly flavoured with spicy plum, cherries and red liquorice over faint vanillin cedar, light earth and pepper. Finishes fresh with fine-grained tannins and a moderate aftertaste. Vibrant, elegant, drinking very well after 16 years in bottle!

Located in the heart of Victoria’s beautiful Mornington Peninsula, Paringa Estate was founded in 1984 by Lindsay McCall when he purchased a derelict orchard. Lindsay’s passion and fascination with wine began in the mid-1970s and by the mid-1980s, he decided to follow his dream by establishing Paringa Estate. The first vintage was in 1988 with just three tonnes of fruit and over the years it has grown considerably, with production now at 16,000 cases. Paringa Estate is one of the most highly awarded boutique wineries in Australia, regularly winning trophies for its Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The collection includes a stunning and precise Pinot Gris, as Lindsay says anywhere capable of growing great Pinot Noir should be capable of growing great Pinot Gris. The wines pay homage to Burgundy in style and James Halliday says Paringa Estate is “one of the best, if not the best, wineries on the Peninsula”.
