| "Possibly the finest syrah (err, shiraz) out of this cooler, maritime region to date. That sounds like an underhanded compliment. Succinctly, this is excellent! Clove, black pepper grind, tapenade, violet and blood plum. The tannins, gritty and granular, yet finely wrought. Balletic, while straddling the gracious line of fruit and herb, glimpsing the excessive side of neither. The finish, excellent, with a dusting of Indian spice lingering long. Extract, freshness and savory drinkability in spades. Very Rhone-like. Drink or hold." Ned Goodwin MW - James Suckling.com | |
The Paringa single vineyard shiraz is the apex of quality. A site, which imparts power and elegance along with distinctive spice and dark fruit aromas, and a powerful savoury palate with blackberry and liquorice flavours. Fine-grained tannins provide excellent structure, power and weight and a very long finish. After fermentation in oak foudres, the wine was aged for 18 months new (40%) and seasoned French oak barriques.
Vintage & Winery Notes
Our single vineyard shiraz comes from the first vines planted on the estate in 1985. We only put our best fruit into this blend. After fermentation in oak foudres, the wine is aged for 15 months in new and seasoned oak.
It’s dark, brooding, and powerful! Aromas of liquorice and black pepper lead onto a dense palate, with an appealing core of juicy red and dark fruits, framed with lively acidity. A wine of outstanding concentration, purity and length.
