In Paxton’s home of McLaren Vale, South Australia, our vineyards are spread across a number of sites and soil types which we manage without compromise from planting to harvest. Our mission is to produce and showcase the region’s fruit quality, varietal expression and natural diversity, particularly with Shiraz, which is now well recognised as the region’s top performing variety.

We call our approach “back to the future”. It involves combining traditional, hands-on management, integrated and complemented with modern technology. We choose to propagate vines from old pre-clonal selection vineyards to benefit from stock with a history of low-yield and high quality.
The vineyard site characteristics we target have soil profiles that allow us to perfectly control soil moisture content via irrigation, maximising fruit quality and intensity. We work with the concept of “terroir”, although we do not necessarily agree with the mystery that is often attached to the word. It can be complex but it is not magic. We consider “terroir” as the interaction between a vine, its environment and the impact of man’s management with the moisture balance of the soil being possibly the major influence.
Management techniques are varied to suit variety and style. Utilisation of techniques such as shoot thinning, leaf plucking and fruit thinning are employed to attain superior quality. Targeted crop levels for Shiraz are 6 – 8 Tonnes per hectare.
We continually strive to minimise inputs and, essentially, use only sulphur and copper on our red varieties. Trialling of bio-dynamics and non-chemical weed control is ongoing.
It is impossible to develop intimate knowledge of a vineyard in one or two years which is why our commitment to optimum quality is reflected by our long term staff and management.
The Region
McLaren Vale is considered one of the most unique and important wine growing regions in Australia today, as well as one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world. It is renowned for the production of super premium quality wines – particularly red wines. Its history dates back to the mid 1800’s and is world renown for the production of not just Australia’s top premium wines but also some of the best wines on a global platform. This South Australian region, just 40 kilometers south of Adelaide, is known as ‘Sea & Vines’ which perfectly describes the essence of its favourable geographic location in the Gulf of St Vincent; its unique terroir soils, the winds, temperate, and mediterranean climate. All of these unique factors are at the core of why the region’s vineyards produce such high quality premium grapes.
Landcross Farm
Everything old is new again! Following 3 years of extensive landscaping, building renovation and revegetation, historical Landcross Farm Homestead and Cellar Door was restored to its former beauty. It also received some new additions – a vineyard and the stunning Paxton Cellar Door.

Thomas Block
The commanding and regal vineyard. Every vineyard has its story and this one is out of this world. Thomas Block is named after the previous owners, who incidentally, are the grand-parents of South Australian astronaut Andy Thomas. The low lying site where this vineyard sits is one of the coolest (cool as in climate not as in “cool dude”) McLaren Vale sites which produces fruit of exceptional natural balance and flavour. The flagship EJ block sits in the back left corner or Thomas Block Vineyard and were planted in the late 1800’s. The is one of the oldest surviving vineyards in the region and still on original rootstock.

Jones Block
This vineyard is named after the previous owner of the property – Doug Jones. A well-loved character who was the local McLaren Vale pharmacist, Doug also purchased a prime site and developed what has become one of the best known red variety vineyards in the region. The vines here are at least 35 years old. Today we carefully hand prune and thin them to ensures the low and uniform yield required for super premium Shiraz. Our Paxton Shiraz comes from this vineyard. Doug would be proud.

Maslin Beach
Apart from being a stone’s throw away from Australia’s first official nude beach, our Maslin Beach Vineyard boasts terrific shallow soil over limestone. Perfect for producing great Shiraz. We searched long and hard for a vineyard this close to the coast to find early ripening fruit, buffered from the hot days of summer by its close proximity to the sea.

Gateway Vineyard
We thought long and hard about a name for this vineyard. It’s sits at the entrance to the McLaren Vale township, atop a hill with spectacular views of the majestic Adelaide Hills, the tranquil Gulf of St Vincent and everything in between. Gateway just seemed perfect. The unusual amount of limestone rock in the ground in this vineyard (unusual for McLaren Vale) has seen it produce some very unique fruit.

Quandong Farm
When is a Quandong Farm not a Quandong Farm? When it’s part of Paxton Vineyards.
Fully aware of the premium placed on land used for vineyards, David told the real estate agent he bought the land from that he intended to plant Quandong trees. As history has it, the Quandong trees have turned out to look suspiciously similar to Shiraz vines and the fruit they bear is just perfect for producing wine. How lucky is that?

19th Vineyard
With commanding views across St Vincent’s Gulf and the valley, there is no better place from which to cast your eye across McLaren Vale than 19th vineyard. Originally a golf course, the aptly named 19th vineyard is planted with a variety of Shiraz clones on predominantly deep sands which typically yield fruit in the more floral (think violets) spectrum than the powerful fruit-driven wines from the heavier soils. Another superior site which compliments the current suite of Paxton vineyards.

What was THE KILLERS’ Ronnie Vannucci and Brandon Flowers’ shout out to Paxton Wines on national TV about? Here’s the scoop! We’ve been working with The Killers’ drummer extraordinaire Ronnie on a JV to bring you a wine that truly celebrates the rhythm of life, Paxton’s BATERISTA!
Baterista, Spanish for drummer, is an Ode to rhythm in both music and In organic and biodynamic wine making. Rhythm is the back bone and heartbeat to both. When the rhythm is right, all else thrives.
Ronnie: “I do love wine, and especially great wines like the ones Paxton produces. They’re unique, and Paxton has an unusual passion for doing things with a real earth centric focus. In short, they care, and it shows. Meeting like-minded people with a passion for crafting something that takes time is attractive to me. It’s a treat to be involved because I know there are others out there, like me, who appreciate this kind of devotion and level of near-magic, and I want it to be available so they can enjoy it, too”
Baterista is a premium single vineyard Shiraz from our beloved 60 year old vines on our Jones Block vineyard, the best two barrels of vintage specially selected by winemaker Ashleigh Seymour for this limited offering.
The new 2019 Baterista is NOW! Click on the LinkTree link in our bio to get to our wine store and secure your bottles of this limited edition wine.
Ronnie Vannucci and Paxton Wines are very proud of the Baterista and feel that consumers will agree: it's an exceptional example of a premium single vineyard, hand crafted Shiraz from McLaren Vale, and shows great depth and complexity and the true purity of fruit and vitality in organic, biodynamic wine making.
Footage from Channel 9’s Today Show, Thursday 27th July, Ronnie and Brandon interviewed by Brooke Boney. Live footage from The Killers Live at Glastonbury.

Paxton’s Shiraz wines are part of the reason why McLaren Vale Shiraz enjoys a glowing reputation, both here and internationally, for quality, and for its unique modern style.
In our biodynamic and organic vineyards, Paxton’s Shiraz vines – some over 146 years old – grow happily in the Vale’s enviable temperate climate which, when combined with our biodynamically prepared soils, means gorgeous fruit year after year, which we carefully harvest and lovingly nurture to become our famous range of single vineyard, multi-vineyard, and Shiraz blend wines.
So it’s Happy Shiraz Day to wine lovers everywhere from the Team at Paxton, and may we all continue to celebrate the Prince of McLaren Vale grapes with a glass of Shiraz!

Has Mandy at Paxton Cellar Door answered an age-old question? What would you find at the end of the rainbow, in this case a fine specimen arching over our Landcross Farm vineyard? Why, the new release 2021 Paxton Tempranillo!
With a ‘rainbow’ of aromas such as jujubes, fat, juicy red cherries and star anise, one taste and you’re transported you to a seaside produce market on the Costa del Sol… a nice thought indeed on these chilly winter days.
Our Tempranillo is a seriously versatile food wine, pairing wonderfully with tapas, roasted vegetables, and Mexican food such as nachos, burritos and any dish with corn as a major ingredient.
If you are yet to try this fabulous wine, head to our renovated Cellar Door where a warm fire and friendly staff await. We are open for tastings and tasty local produce 7 days a week from 10am-5pm.

Pooches at Paxton! Jackson and Amy from Brisbane were visiting McLaren Vale wineries… but only chose wineries that are pet friendly, because as devoted ‘pet parents' to their beloved Golden Retriever, Jari, ‘he goes where we go!’
After sampling Paxton Wines – and a nice cool drink of water for Jari – they enjoyed the view with a glass or two and a platter of cheeses and other tasty local produce, and departed as newly minted Members of the Paxton Social Wine Club community, where they will enjoy discounts on future wine purchases plus access to other exclusive Member benefits and offers.
Remember, we always welcome your pampered pooches to Paxton… but be sure they’re on a leash!

The sheer beauty of Paxton’s organic, biodynamic McLaren Vale vineyards on a misty winter’s morning is just breathtaking. It’s like walking, a glass of fine red wine in hand, through an art gallery filled with paintings by the 19th century English master Turner.
Some of nature’s most stunning vistas are indeed reserved for winter. Poet Susan Bates might have said it best: ‘Jack Frost paints wondrous pictures with his palette of frozen dew / Then stands back when his work is done and proudly admires the view’.
Whatever the season, McLaren Vale never disappoints!
