Winery of the Moment

Paradigm Hill

Their journey….

A paradigm shift for Ruth and George Mihaly saw them surrender their established careers in food (for viticulture – Ruth) and in medical research / drug development (for winemaking – George). Both Ruth and George have been passionate about food and wine since they first met in the’70’s. Their obsessive pursuit of quality and commitment to ecologically responsible practices ultimately led them to establish their perfect and environmentally sustainable vineyard/home site on the Mornington Peninsula. The overriding focus is on achieving balanced healthy vines producing exceptional low yielding fruit. Therefore, they have only estate grown wines - showing elegance and intensity - but always a purity of varietal expression for each of their four wines - Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir and Shiraz.

Their journey continues…. 

Riesling

Fresh citrus and apple blossom aromas invite you to explore similar characteristics and flavour on the palate where the texture unfolds. Soft, fresh acid highlights the finesse, minerality and persistence of the wine.
 

Pinot Noir

The gift of a perfect vintage and from the main block of pinot noir in our vineyard, presents as enticing aromas of perfumed summer berries and a rich savoury and earthy character. On the palate - voluptuousness and generosity of flavours, with a complexity of character that invites you to explore and discover more!

Grown on a tiny yet very special 5 rows in the vineyard, hence 'Les cinq’.This wine offers elegant layers of subtle fragrance with alluring floral and red cherry perfume leading to enticing and pretty flavours on the palate. Softness combines with structural assertivness to define a character seeking to be explored and a complexity and delicious palate to be enjoyed.
 

Shiraz

These late ripening shiraz grapes present aromas of spice and classically, an elegant yet intense palate. White pepper, spice and red stone fruit plus hints of toasty character are all part of the complex character. The seamless, long and rounded finish is most satisfying
