Paxton Mclaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Bright red hue. Delicate spiced fragrance of paprika and cinnamon, with a touch of bok choy and tomato leaf. Full bodied wine showing redcurrants and raspberries, rhubarb and paprika spice. Seamlessly followed by integrated French oak and elegant fine grain tannins.

Multiple Vineyards located throughout McLaren Vale.

Individual parcels from selected vineyards were harvested to capture optimum sugar and flavour equilibrium. The parcels were kept separate throughout de-stemming and fermentation, to ensure the highest quality. Fermentation was carried out in open top and static fermenters. Each parcel was plunged and pumped over twice a day for 14 days to extract colour, flavour and tannin structure.

The ferments were pressed to new and mature French oak puncheons (500 litre barrels), where they were nurtured for 11 months prior to blending and bottling.
