Paralian

Written By Campbell Mattinson

Paralian is a Mattinson 10-Star Winery.
Only the best of Australia’s best wineries are ranked as a Mattinson 10-Star Winery.

The key to Paralian is as simple as it is magnificent. Skye Salter and Charlie Seppelt have worked in vineyards and at wineries far and wide, big and small, in Australia and around the world. In the vastness of this experience they’ve honed to a knife edge the ability to know a special vineyard when they see it, or a special block, or a special section of a vineyard, or even a special row. With Paralian then they set out to negotiate access to these special vineyards or to small sections of them, and to capture them in the bottle. Oftentimes these small sections of vineyard had never previously been singled out or bottled with their uniqueness kept intact. At Paralian the best grapes – the best combinations of land and grape – are seen. It’s not rocket science but it takes skill, judgement and nerve to pull it off. Paralian does so unerringly. The Paralian Marmont Vineyard Grenache 2024 and Paralian Chardonnay 2024 are all the proof you could ever need.
