Located in the heart of Victoria’s beautiful Mornington Peninsula, Paringa Estate was founded in 1984 by Lindsay McCall when he purchased a derelict orchard. Lindsay’s passion and fascination with wine began in the mid-1970s, and by the mid-1980s, he decided to follow his dream by establishing Paringa Estate. The first vintage was in 1988 with just three tonnes of fruit, and over the years, it has grown considerably, with production now at 16,000 cases. Paringa Estate is one of Australia's most highly awarded boutique wineries, regularly winning trophies for its Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The collection includes a stunning and precise Pinot Gris; as Lindsay says, anywhere capable of growing great Pinot Noir should be capable of growing great Pinot Gris. The wines pay homage to Burgundy in style, and James Halliday says Paringa Estate is “one of the best, if not the best, wineries on the Peninsula”.

The fruit for this wine was sourced from four estate-managed vineyards within the Red Hill subregion. The vines, which have an average age of 23, are dry-grown in volcanic, iron-rich soil known as Ferrasol.
