Paxton Rose
Summary Paxton Rose is a dry, elegant rosé from biodynamically farmed vineyards in McLaren Vale, South Australia. Primarily Grenache-led (with possible small portions of Shiraz or Mourvèdre), it's made with minimal intervention—short skin contact for colour and texture, fermented cool in stainless steel to preserve freshness and fruit purity. No added preservatives in the natural style, this vibrant pink wine captures McLaren Vale's warmth with bright red berry character and subtle salinity. Refreshing and versatile, it's perfect chilled as an aperitif, with seafood, salads, charcuterie, grilled fish, or light summer fare.
