Paxton
The Quandong Farm vineyard was planted in 1996, from 50-years-old Shiraz vine cuttings, and was the first Paxton vineyard to be fully converted to Organic practices in 2004. The site is named after a native Australian bush fruit. A strong sense of place defines the vineyard's characteristics. Sitting West facing on the Seaview Ridge, with soils of Shallow loam over limestone, this unique vineyard produces fragrant and aromatic fruit, with brightness and intensity.

Vinification Details
The grapes were handpicked and selector harvested at the optimum flavour and sugar equilibrium. 40% of the harvest was used as whole bunches. The ferment was 100% wild/ natural yeast spontaneous fermentation. The small-batch ferments were carefully plunged and pumped over for 14 days to extract colour, flavour and tannin structure. The ferments were pressed to new and mature French oak barries, where they were nurtured for 12 months prior to blending and bottling.
