About Paxton
Paxton Wines has been owned since 1979, and certified biodynamic since 2011. They call their approach “back to the future” which involves combining traditional, hands-on management that is integrated and complemented with modern technology. They choose to propagate vines from old pre-clonal selection vineyards to benefit from stock with a history of low-yield and high quality.
Production note
60% Shiraz, 40% Grenache. Winery – Paxton Wines – is certified biodynamic. Parcels were kept separate throughout picking, de-stemming and fermenting, enhancing the unique characters of each vineyard. Ferments in open top and static fermenters and pumped over twice daily. Pressed to seasoned French and Hungarian oak barriques, where they were nurtured for 12 months prior to blending and bottling.
