Vintage & Winery Notes
‘The Paringa’ comes from two blocks of the
oldest vines in the home vineyard, now nearly 40 years old. It is the ultimate
expression of our unique site, a north facing amphitheatre tucked into the
hillside.
The 2023 exudes the
confidence and poise of our top single vineyard wine, made from our best fruit.

Reviews
"Beautiful Pinot Noir. Beautiful fruit, appropriate oak, structure, balance and finesse. Flavours of red and black cherries, strawberries, twiggy spice and smoked cedar, with a minerally edge trailing through the aftertaste. It tastes ripe and feels dry. It’s clean as a whistle and immaculately composed and yet it still manages to convey something extra." 95 Points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
"The 2023 The Paringa Pinot Noir is lightly framed and similarly weighted, yet the fruit has a concentration and penetration about it that elevates it over and above the other Paringa cuvées tasted here today. This veritably settles into the palate, staining it gently, reminding it that the flavors are here to stay. There are notes of cherry, clove, strawberry, pomegranate molasses, a hint of sumac and tapenade. The acidity is like wisps of caper brine. This is super lovely." 93 Points, Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate
"The nose has lifted and perfumed aromas of wild raspberries, cassia bark, violets and blood oranges. The palate is medium-bodied with finely integrated tannins and focused acidity, giving notes of cherries, dried herbs, baking spices and ferric earth. Very well integrated and perfumed." 94 Points, Ned Goodwin MW, JamesSuckling.com
