Winemaking NOW (Natural Organic Wine) Shiraz is Paxton’s bold leap into natural winemaking—crafted with organic and biodynamic fruit, and bottled with no added sulphites. Fermentation takes place with wild yeasts, and the wine is bottled early to capture its natural vibrancy. The result is a pure, juicy expression of McLaren Vale Shiraz made to be enjoyed young and fresh.
Bouquet Bright aromas of raspberry, black cherry, and plum with floral undertones and soft hints of spice and earth. Fresh and lively on the nose.
Palate Medium-bodied with silky tannins and a generous burst of red berry fruit. Juicy and supple with subtle spice and a clean, vibrant finish. Energetic and easy to enjoy.
Food Pairing Perfect with grilled vegetables, margherita pizza, lamb koftas, or lightly spiced falafel wraps. A fantastic red for casual meals or outdoor sipping.
Cellaring Made for drinking now—no ageing required. Best enjoyed within 2–3 years while the fruit is at its most expressive.
Interesting Fact Paxton is a trailblazer in certified biodynamic viticulture in Australia, and the NOW range reflects a hands-off approach that lets the vineyard speak for itself—no oak, no additives, just pure Shiraz.
