2024 Paringa Estate Peninsula Pinot Noir, Mornington Peninsula

Perfectly turned out. Sweet-sour cherry flavours, into strawberry, into violets, with sweet spice notes strewn throughout. Juicy and accessible but with enough tannin, and indeed oak, to both keep it in sound shape and to give it a bit of spunk. It’s not going anywhere in a hurry but it’s excellent drinking right now.

Vintage & Winery Notes

We source fruit for these wines from our Estate managed vineyards in Red Hill, and from a few other carefully selected vineyards around the Peninsula. These wines are an exceptional expression of the Mornington Peninsula style, with the emphasis on lively fruit. “The quality of these wines are often equal to many other vineyards best” (James Halliday).

Fruit was 100% de-stemmed and fermented in 2.5 tonne open fermenters. The fruit spent an average of 21 days in the fermenter on skins. Maturation took place over 11 months on lees in French Oak barrels.

The nose is bursting with lively red cherry aromas and spice. Whilst there is lots of red fruit on the palate, there is an appealing savoury tannin framework which gives structure and length.
