The AAA Shiraz/Grenache benefits from some of the finest fruit producing areas in the prestigious McLaren Vale.

By our reckoning this is one of the finest wines given the price that we list. It is also cited by James Halliday, the influential Australian wine guru, as offering great value-for-money. It is a vibrant blend of Shiraz and Grenache with vitality, balance and great mouth feel. This is easily now in our ‘must buy’ category.

“Our mission is to produce and showcase the region’s fruit quality, varietal expression and natural diversity... We call our approach “back to the future”. It involves combining traditional, hands-on management, integrated and complimented with modern technology. We choose to propagate vines from old pre-clonal selection vineyards to benefit from stock with a history of low-yield and high quality.” Paxtonvineyards.com

“Bright, light clear red-purple; a beautifully modulated and balanced wine with delicious red fruits to the fore, free of any confection characters whatsoever; the structure is outstanding, built on the foundations of silky tannins.” James Halliday
