Paringa Estate Estate Series Mornington Peninsula Shiraz 2018
Paringa Estate Estate Series Mornington Peninsula Shiraz 2018
Premium Cool Climate Australian Shiraz from Mornington Peninsula
The Paringa Estate Estate Series Mornington Peninsula Shiraz 2018 is a masterclass in cool climate winemaking. Hailing from the renowned Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, this award-winning Shiraz (95%) with a touch of Viognier (5%) delivers exceptional elegance, complexity, and longevity.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, expect lifted and focused aromas of cracked black pepper, dark plum, and ripe blackberry, underscored by hints of spice and floral tones from the Viognier. The palate is medium-bodied (Body: C), yet rich and vibrant, with beautifully integrated fine-grained tannins that provide structure and a silky texture. The finish is long, savoury, and impressively persistent, making this a wine to enjoy now or cellar confidently for over a decade.

Winery | The vineyard is the home block at the Paringa winery. It was first planted by Lindsay McCall in 1985. The north-facing vineyard sits at 146 metres above sea level, and the soil is red volcanic, known as Ferrasol, which is typical of the region. The vines are trellised to a split canopy to balance the fertile soil. |
