2021 Paradigm Hill 'Les Cinq' Pinot Noir

It has often been said, great wine is made in the vineyard – and this is why George Mihaly believes that his terroir is so vitally important to the wines character. He has just over 10 acres of north facing gently sloping vineyard. The philosophy of his wine making is to guide the wine with minimal intervention through the vinification process – and this is how George believes that he can maximize the varietal character from the terroir, for each of his wines. The fruit is picked by loving hands, with vintage being a time for celebration.

Paradigm Hill has committed themselves to achieving a zero carbon foot print from the activities at winery. In addition to having been their own “Carbon Cops” and audited and then reviewed all their energy consumption, George has also installed a substantial 132 panel, 30kWh Photo Voltaic Cell [PV Cell] system that is rated to generate about 40+ Mega Watt Hours of electricity per year.

Les cinq has intense, enticing darker red fruit aromas followed by the expected savoury, fleshy and earthy character of this wine. There is a generosity together with a long complex and balanced fresh finish. Whilst these wines are delicious to enjoy now, we believe cellaring for 15 or more years will delight the patient collector.
