Paxton AAA Shiraz Grenache

COLOUR: Bright crimson red with a pink hue.

AROMA: Think dark brambly forest fruits intertwined with raw coffee beans, like a trek to the depths of the Balinese mountains. In the background, notes of fresh curry leaves, pine resin and balsamic notes hint to whole bunches used in the fermentation and completed by a feather-light touch of delicate French oak.

PALATE: Shiraz and Grenache together makes for such a dynamic blend and decadent mouthfeel. Shiraz bringing the mid-palate weight and intensity of fruit flavours, while the spicy saffron liveliness of Grenache pulls everything together for a party on your palate. The finish is just like ending your night with smooth electric beats.

CELLARING: The AAA is a fantastic wine when young, with potential to get even better in bottle over 10 years plus.
