Maker:
Paringa Estate, located in the cool climate sub-region of Red Hill on the Mornington Peninsula, is a family-owned winery founded by Lindsay McCall in 1985. A true pioneer of the region, Lindsay began his winemaking journey in a shed, making his first vintage in 1987 with just one ton of fruit. Today, Paringa Estate is renowned for producing some of the finest wines in Australia, with a focus on Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Chardonnay, and Pinot Gris. Lindsay’s commitment to quality and attention to detail in both the vineyard and the winery has seen the estate’s production grow from humble beginnings to a record 380 tons of fruit in 2018. The winery, built in 1998, boasts modern facilities including an underground barrel room that allows wines to age at a stable temperature, and French oak foudres for fermenting single-vineyard reds. Paringa Estate’s wines are a true reflection of the Mornington Peninsula’s unique terroir, with a dedication to craftsmanship that is evident in every bottle.
