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.
Tasting Note: Fresh citrus flavours of lime and lemon myrtle with a hint of pear blossom and canary melon. Salty beach days come to mind, sand-covered skin and cricket being played with the waves lapping at sun-kissed feet. A zesty palate reminiscent of grapefruit sorbet framing a soft viscosity through the mid-palate. Grapefruit comes to play again with rind texture completing the lively finish.
