JOIN PAXTON SOCIAL AND SAVE UP TO 25%At Paxton we like to cater for the different tastes of our visitors to Cellar Door. The Late Harvest was made with the aim to have a fruity, sweet but fresh drink to enjoy, that would appeal to those who like some sweetness in their wine. The wine has a floral tropical lift and is fresh and luscious with plenty of sweetness which is balanced by crisp lively acidity.
The Late Harvest blend changes each year with the aim of improving the wine; this year it was made from Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Marsanne. It is fruity, showing loads of tropical fruits including lychee, kiwi and passion fruit.
Variety: | Sauvignon Blanc | Chardonnay | Pinot Gris | Marsanne |

Vintage: | 2018 Growing season had very good winter rainfall allowing the vineyards to reach saturation point. A very dry spring encouraged healthy foliage growth and controlled the vines vigor well. We experienced one of the driest summers in 30 odd years; this meant a great concentration of flavours and intensity of fruit especially in Shiraz and Grenache. The whites reached fruit ripeness with low acidity therefore producing a very bright and vibrant flavour profile, especially in Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. A warmer than usual autumn (Indian summer) kept disease pressure low and helped natural malolactic fermentation. All and all, a very strong 2018 vintage with fantastic red wines maturing in barrel and vibrant white’s in bottle. |

Pinot Gris is a white wine as we know but the grapes, Gris meaning Grey, look more like a red wine on the vine. Our Thomas Block vineyard is where we grow our beloved Paxton Pinot Gris. #vintage21 #organicwine #biodynamicwine #mclarenvale #pinotgris ...

The wine that started it all. The 1998 Paxton Shiraz from our Jones Block vineyard and released in 2000. It’s still tasting a charm, and has aged gracefully.

Preparation 500 – Biodynamic preparation where fresh cow manure is placed into a cow’s horn (a calcium-rich vessel), and then buried over the winter. The manure is transformed into a highly concentrated form of compost.
Diversity – natural environments have a way of protecting themselves: it’s called biological diversity. In our vineyards we encourage natural systems to regulate pests and disease. We cultivate microbes in the soil, plant mid-row pastures and native trees, and keep beehives to create habitats for different species and maintain the diversity.
Compost – made off-site to our own recipe, we apply compost in winter to provide organic carbon, nutrient, and – most importantly – the microbes that promote soil health. The soil’s structure is also improved as its ability to hold water.
Soil Health – healthy soil is the foundation of biodynamic farming, that’s why we reject the use of synthetic fertilisers and pesticides that damage the soil’s biology.
