Paringa Estate Pinot Noir 2023 12 Pack

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front

Paringa Estate never fails to deliver. This is another excellent Pinot Noir, beautifully balanced, well powered, structured and yet blessed with pristine fruit. It’s also complex, in that it runs undergrowth and twiggy spice notes throughout, almost to the point where it feels slightly autumnal. Tannin is a feature, as is the balance of oak. Fruit is black cherried and svelte. It’s a “this is how you do it” wine.

Jane Faulkner - Halliday Wine Companion

Not an easy vintage on the peninsula, with a lot of hard work needed in the vineyard to bring in clean fruit; this is lovely and bright. Red cherries, florals, wintergreen and musk, primary yet juicy. Textural tannins, some grip on the finish and plenty of acidity, so food essential.

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2023 Estate Pinot Noir is fine and sandy, more so than the Robinson Vineyard of the same vintage tasted alongside. This is the lean, structural one of the two, while the other is siltier and more plush. It has notes of cherry, strawberry, blood plum, a hint of blood orange and tapenade to close. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
