Paringa Estate

Lindsay McCall began planting his property over thirty years ago, in 1985.  It’s no secret that the Paringa Estate vineyard, in the cool climate sub region of Red Hill, is a very special site, with a unique microclimate. North facing, on ten acres of rich red volcanic soil that is un-irrigated, it’s elevation of 140 meters.

Halliday describes Lindsay as having “an exceptional gift for winemaking,” and describes his wines as being of “the highest quality, with a distinguished pedigree.” An amazing achievement given he has had no formal education in winemaking. In the James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2007, Paringa Estate was awarded ‘Australian Winery of the Year’. This was akin to being made captain of the Australian cricket team for Lindsay, and he hasn’t looked back since.
