Wine Production
The grapes are picked at optimum sugar and flavor equilibrium. Tipped into open top fermenters, they are gently hand plunged for around 20 days, extracting the vibrant characteristics of the vineyard. When primary fermentation is complete, they are pressed to stainless steel tanks for malolactic fermentation and brief aging before bottling early to preserve freshness.
About the Vineyard
Grapes for the Paxton NOW Shiraz are sourced from three of their seven vineyards: Maslin, Quandong, and 19th Vineyards.
