2024 has produced a complex, powerful wine. Aromas of white peach and nectarine are underscored with flinty barrel ferment aromas. The palate is rich and textured with power and finesse, and outstanding length.
This is the ultimate expression of our home vineyard, sourced from a block of nine rows, which are now nearly 40 years old.
Handpicked fruit is whole bunch pressed and fermented with wild yeast in French oak puncheons. Lees stirring and malolactic fermentation create complexity.

"Paringa's ultimate Chardonnay is sourced from just nine rows of vines of almost 40 years of age on its home vineyard. I love the way the 2024 season epitomises the power and complexity of the Mornington while sustaining a dynamic backbone of acid line and crystalline, mineral texture. The dynamic of energetic endurance juxtaposing profound power and persistence of Grand Cru proportions makes for tremendous longevity. The trio of 22-23-24 are among the finest in the nation." 97 Points, Tyson Stelzer, Wine Business Magazine
"While ’24 was not without its challenges on the peninsula, unequivocally, Paringa Estate has featured its best wines across the range. What a feat. The flagship chardonnay comes in as both flavoursome and refined. Flinty sulphides, a lemon/ginger infusion and fresh lemons, too. Stone fruit with roasted cashews and a savouriness throughout. The palate is restrained yet detailed with creamy lees and judicious oak. Everything is in its place, and this is a beauty of a drink." 95 Points, Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion
"A bit of stuck match, honey and almond, white fruit and citrus, toasty cedar oak. It’s a little saline and savoury, toasty oak and barrel ferment plays a leading role, though there’s also a juiciness here and a cut of grapefruity acidity. The finish has some sour yoghourt creaminess and flinty grip, and it has good length too. A complex somewhat worked style that’ll be better in a year or two." 94 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
"Light-medium yellow; some smoky reduction at first sniff then morphing into roasted hazelnut and oatmeal, the palate rich and generous, with good fruit intensity and complexities from oak and winemaking inputs adding detail. Gorgeous flavour and generosity while retaining great elegance." 95 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
