Paringa Estate

Lindsay McCall started making wine at Red Hill South in a shed — and, in his first vintage, a repurposed fish tank. That was 1987. Now 380 tonnes of pinot noir, chardonnay and shiraz pass through a proper winery each harvest, with the barrel room sunk partly below ground to hold temperature. The north-facing home vineyard, on volcanic soil at 140 metres, is trellised in a distinctive U-shaped Lyre system.
