2022 Paringa Estate 'Robinson Vineyard' Pinot Noir
RRP: $80.00
Skillful use of whole bunch fermentation has heightened the aromas and added extra layers of complexity to the 2022 vintage. The nose is delicate and floral, with red berry notes. The palate is elegant and finely structured, with pure red cherry flavours, fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and excellent length.
Vintage & Winery Notes
A collaboration between winemaker Lindsay McCall and Dr. Hugh Robinson, the regions highly respected viticulturist have come together to produce a special single vineyard wine. Only 128 dozen produced
Comments from Lindsay. "This pinot has been made from a small single clone block of MV6 clone grown in the Robinson Vineyard at Tuerong. A beautiful pinot with an interesting contrast to our Paringa Estate pinots from Red Hill vineyards. It has a fragrant aroma of red cherries and the palate has a core of sweet red fruit well integrated with savory fine tannins. In the past the fruit for this wine was sold to Coldstream Hills and often found its way onto the Coldstream Hills Reserve Pinot Noir. I have called this wine the Robinson Vineyard to officially recognize where the fruit has come from and to pay my respects to Hugh's efforts for growing such great quality fruit. Watch out for future releases to the wine club of this wine as we have made wines from the this same small MV6 block since 2014"

Reviews
"This is a light-but-tannic Pinot Noir with red cherry and red rose characters to the fore. There’s a smoky, reductive element in play too, which combines well with twiggy herb and nut shell notes. This wine is juicy and perfumed on the one hand, and meaty and strict on the other. It needs time to unfold." 92 Points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
"A tautly wound, medium-bodied pinot. No lack of tannins, both stem- and grape skin-derived. Still a little reductive. But this should age very well. Rhubarb, red cherry pits and orange zest notes with the salty grit of tannins. Delicious. Drink or hold. Screw cap." 93 Points, Ned Goodwin MW, JamesSuckling.com
