Paringa Estate Peninsula Shiraz Mornington Peninsula

Mornington Peninsula, Australia
Cool-climate Shiraz from Paringa Estate on the Mornington Peninsula, one of Australia's most unusual expressions of this variety. The Peninsula's maritime cooling produces Shiraz of far greater elegance and aromatics than the warmer Barossa or McLaren Vale, with characteristics closer to a Northern Rhône Syrah — pepper, olive, violet, and restrained fruit — than the generous, opulent style of warmer Australian regions. A revelation for those who know only warm-climate Australian Shiraz.
