Paxton NOW Shiraz 2021

Paxton are leaders in both Organic and Biodynamic viticulture and winemaking, having held certification for both since 2011. Fruit for all the wines are sourced solely from estate vineyards in McLaren Vale in South Australia. Paxton focuses on Shiraz, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon, but also see big futures in the Vale for Mediterranean varieties Tempranillo, Graciano, Mataro and Pinot Gris. The NOW (Natural Organic Wine) range are made with no added preservatives. 

NOW stands for 'Natural Organic Wine' with no added preservatives. A surprisingly complex flavour explosion of earthy ironstone and cold-smoked charcuterie layered on undertones of plump raspberries. As the wine has more time in the glass blueberries and bubble-gum come to the surface balanced by subtle flints of fresh marjoram. Medium bodied, juicy, easy, drink “NOW’ style of wine. Reminiscent of swimming in natural hot springs on a fresh autumn morning, the comforting feel of warm water washing over your skin. The ferrous character comes through on the palate leading into slightly gravelly tannins offset by a delicate acidity lengthening the palate to a smooth finish.
