4½ Star Rating James Halliday Wine Companion 2010
Paul and Kathy Drogemuller established Paracombe following the devastating Ash Wednesday in 1983. It has become a very successful business, producing a range of wines from the 15–ha vineyard which are never less than good, often very good. The wines are made on–site in the winery with every part of the production process through to the distribution handled from the winery.
James Halliday, Wine Companion 2010
Food Companion Internantional
… …This makes Paracombe amongst the few small Australian brands at the moment that I would attribute to being viable while there are dozens which are in real difficulty. And the last positive is position, position, position. The Adelaide Hills as a regional site is one of the better ones in the country.
Peter Scudamore–Smith, Wine Master II in Australia. Food Companion International, Spring 2006
Paracombe Wines Pinot Gris 2009
A faint, faint blush in the glass, and quartered pink lady apples in the air, before the palate kicks in with a burst of crispness and a honeyed, just ripe pear flavour, lip smacking bite, fresh yet the tension of sweet fruit to add interest and lift. Summer lunches forever. Tony Love, The Advertiser Top 100, 92 points
This is truly in the richer Gris style yet it offers a pristine fruit experience too. Tinged light bronze and smelling of pears and perfumed stone fruits it has a nice tingle of crunchy acid and a lingering pear drop finish. Drink now while it’s fresh. Nick Stock, Wine 100 February 2010
An aromatic bouquet of cinnamon–spiced pear, clove and apple blossom carries through to a long and juicy palate. Richly textured with lychee and limoncello tones. High impact, voluptuous and wickedly moreish. Match with Spicy Asian dishes, shellfish. Louise Radman, The Adelaide Magazine 2010
