Paringa Brut Sparkling 2009

Paringa is owned by David Hickinbotham, a grower who supplies grapes for some of Australia's most famous wines including Penfolds Grange. A 1,700 acre estate located about 150 miles northeast of Adelaide in Riverland, the vines are planted to sandy loam topsoil over limestone. David and winemaker John Gledhill maintain lower yields (5-6 tons per acre), practice careful canopy management and source water from the nearby Murray River.
