Paxton Tempranillo 2017

The Paxon Tempranillo originates from the McLaren Vale region of South Australia.

This wine is vibrant red with purple hues. Aromas of blackberry, pomegranate and raspberry licorice. Medium to full-bodied wine with flavours of raspberry, integrated oak and balanced tannins on the finish.

Paxton is a family owned and run McLaren Vale wine company; founder and owner, David Paxton, is one of Australia’s most highly respected viticulturists; David’s son Michael oversees the winemaking and second son, Ben, manages Cellar Door. Paxton vineyards are managed using biodynamic farming principles – farming without the use of synthetic fertilisers and pesticides with a focus on promoting healthy, living soils through natural compost preparations.

From vintage 2010 Paxton vineyards are NASAA certified “organic/biodynamic in conversion” and are the first Australian winery member of 10.000000or The Planet, a global network of environmentally conscious companies that give at least 10f their annual sales to environmental causes.

This terrific Tempranillo is definitely in the savoury vein: it has hints of old leather and warm soil and dried mushrooms – all characters that make it taste absolutely delicious with succulent Spanish-style roast lamb.”
