Paringa Estate Peninsula Shiraz 2018

In the winery berries were de-stemmed and co-fermented with 5% viognier in two-tonne open fermenters. It was then aged for 11 months in seasoned French oak barriques. This is a classic fine cool climate shiraz.
A bouquet of spicy blackberry fruit along with lifted floral viognier aromatics which lead onto a fruit driven palate of black fruits, black pepper and fine grained tannins and silky texture. A medium bodied wine with texture and power but with a fineness that reflects its cool climate origin.

93 points, Halliday’s 2021 Australian Wine Companion “A fluid, spicy, meaty shiraz with cherry-plum flavours washing attractively throughout and undergrowth notes sliding beneath. You could say that it’s built on acidity but there’s so much going on that you could say that it’s built on many things. Lovely red to drink.”

92 points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front “I like pepper in my shiraz and Paringa Estate is always a good place to find it. It’s clearly evident in this release, both black pepper and white, though even in tandem the total remains at modest not-ridiculous levels. It’s otherwise berried, red and black, with a whisper of creamy oak. Acidity is both refreshing and slightly cranberried. All up it’s an excellent wine to drink, all squeaky-clean, polished and peppery as it is.”

92 Points, James Suckling “This has a wealth of pepper and blackcurrant, as well as some blackberries and spicy, leafy notes. The palate is medium-bodied with a wealth of blueberry and blackcurrant flavors. Good value here.”
