Paxton AAA Shiraz Grenache 2022
Australia, McLaren Vale
Shiraz, Grenache, Mataro
Description
Delightful flavours of strawberries, raspberries and a hint of blueberries. The red fruit aromatics are jumping out of the glass with a slight hint of whole bunch character that is supported by subtle but delicious French oak notes. The blend of Shiraz and Grenache makes for such a bright and delicious mouthfeel. Shiraz brings the mid palate weight and intensity of flavours, while the Grenache gives some crunchy texture and mouthfeel. Combined they give an elegant round finish that really feels like it dances on the palate.

Vinification
Individual vineyard parcels of Shiraz and Grenache were fermented in a combination of open top and static fermenters. During this process, each parcel was plunged and/or pumped over twice a day for 14 days to extract colour, flavour and tannin structure.
Maturation
The ferments were pressed to seasoned French oak barriques (225L) and puncheons (500L) where they were nurtured for 12 months prior to bottling.
