97/100 — Stuart Knox · 2022 Vintage · 22 JUL 2024 · Drinking Window: 2024-2037
“Medium ruby with a lifted nose of mixed cherries and cola spices. Full of concentration and intensity, black and red cherries are in full volume, matched to supple cola and dark spices with hints of a deeper meaty layer. Tannins are fine and in perfect harmony to the generosity of the fruit. This is a silky wine but don’t be fooled, there’s serious intent here and it shows in its prodigious length. Enjoy it now but try and hide some away as well”
95/100 — Winepilot · 2022 Vintage · Tasted: Jul 2025
“Top of the Paringa Pinot tree and everything steps up a notch: structure, fruit concentration and tannins, adding to the wine’s overall ageing potential. Dusty beets, earth, dark chocolate, black cherry and cedary toasty oak light up the aroma. Solid, well-built and coiled, it does a slow reveal delivering layers of red and dark fruits, earth, dark roasted spices, savoury tapenade and roasting pan juices. Crushed herbs build on the middle palate and gain momentum closing with leafy green characters on the finish. Well positioned for a bright and long future.”
About This Wine
The name “The Paringa” denotes the single vineyard origin of this wine.
Lindsay McCall planted the first vines on the Paringa Estate vineyard in 1985, with ten acres being under vine by 1990.
From this site fruit of distinction is born from a combination of red volcanic Ferrasol soil, a north facing aspect and altitude of 146m on Paringa Road, Red Hill South.
In creating this wine viticulture and winemaking practices are approached with the intent of preserving a pure expression of site from soil through to bottle.
