Paringa Estate 'The Paringa' Chardonnay 2021 750ml

This ‘Single Vineyard’ wine is the ultimate expression of our unique home vineyard in Red Hill South. It comes from a block of nine rows, which are now 30 years old.

The fruit was handpicked, whole bunch pressed, and the unclarified juice was fermented with wild yeast in new and older French oak puncheons. It went through malolactic fermentation, and the lees were stirred monthly. It spent 11 months in oak before bottling.
2021 was an excellent vintage for chardonnay with balanced natural acidity giving long term ageing potential.

Every vintage this exceptional chardonnay expresses the beauty of this site. The nose is highly perfumed, with notes of grapefruit, lemon zest and flinty sulphides. The complex palate has power, finesse and great length.
