Bouquet of raspberry, blackberry, cherries and cedar. A core of berry fruit, and bramble, is accompanied by tobacco, liquorish and seasoned oak notes with hints of smoke and vanilla. This complements a focused palate with integrated fruit tannins and good length.

This Pinot Noir captures the pure character of the variety with bright, juicy red fruit and subtle spicy, savoury notes. The bouquet reveals boysenberry, ripe cherry, thyme and toasted nut, leading into a medium-bodied palate of sweet plum, tart cherry and wild herbs. Soft, velvety tannins and well-integrated French oak add gentle structure, while a touch of chocolate and lingering spice bring a satisfying finish.

A prime example of Primitivo at its best; soft and velvety, with rich, concentrated flavours of red berries, plums, vanilla and spice, hints of coffee and cinnamon. For best results, decant.

Full-bodied, offering a rich and structured mouthfeel. Bright acidity lifts the wine, balancing the fleshy black fruit flavours, while fine, grippy tannins provide a firm, subtle texture.

The consumer market demand has been growing steadily for No Added Preservative and Natural wines. As leaders in organic production, it was obvious that Paxton needed a product for this category. In addition to Natural & Organic, they wanted to make a young, drink NOW style of Shiraz that was different from their existing Shiraz styles. 100% Shiraz. Colour: vibrant purple & pink. Aroma: ironstone, cold smoke & raspberries. Palate: medium-bodied, gravelly tannins offset by a delicate acidity with a smooth finish. Drink 'NOW'.

Upon release the wine is bright ruby in colour. There is a teasing array of vibrant red fruit on the nose including raspberry, pomegranate, cherry and plum. Spice and herbal notes, as well as a savoury underlay, add to the wine's complexity. While the palate has generous fruit weight and velvety tannins, it is balanced with refreshing acidity and a structure that gives the wine classic North Canterbury tension and pinosity.
