Paxton Pinot Gris
Summary Paxton Pinot Gris is a crisp, aromatic white from biodynamically farmed estate vineyards in McLaren Vale, South Australia (often sourced from cooler sites like Thomas Block). Made with minimal intervention and no added preservatives in some expressions, it's crafted to highlight fresh fruit purity and subtle texture—typically fermented in stainless steel or neutral vessels for vibrancy. This refreshing, dry style captures McLaren Vale's warmth with citrus and stone fruit lift. Versatile and food-friendly, pair with seafood, salads, Asian cuisine, goat cheese, or enjoy chilled as an aperitif.
