The bouquet has Paringa Estates’ distinctive cracked black pepper/spice & plum characters. On the palate spicy blackberry and plum fruit flavours are supported by firm fine grained tannins that will soften with bottle development. A wine that can be enjoyed young with food, but will also reward careful cellaring.
The wine has been made from 100% Estate grown Shiraz fruit and aged for 15 months in new and one year old French Oak. The warm early vintage combined with low yields has produced an excellent Paringa Shiraz.
Paringa Estate has established itself over the last 20 years as one of the leading quality small producers in Australia- a position further reinforced by being awarded Australian Winery of the Year in James Halliday’s 2007 Wine Companion.
"The highly perfumed bouquet of blackberry, clove and smoked meat, is framed by the generous level of high-quality toasty oak; the palate is loaded with dark fruits and moving toward full-bodied, but holds back with vibrancy and spice to conclude. Screwcap. 14.5% alc. Rating 94." - James Halliday.
