  Paxton Quandong Farm Shiraz 2011
 
 
Paxton Quandong Farm Shiraz.gif
 
A certified Biodynamic shiraz from Mclaren Vale.The nose has lifted sweet fragrance, attractive cherry and mulberry with spices and truffle. The palate is concentrated with full, even mouthfeel with flavours of plump fruits and chocolate leading to a silky, savoury finish.

The grapes were harvested by hand when they were balanced and flavoursome. 20% whole bunches were included in
fermentation, the balance of the fruit was destemmed over the whole bunches and fermented on skins, with 100% wild yeast
ferments.

Extended maceration was undertaken to optimise flavour. The wine was then aged in mainly older French oak barrels, only 18% new, to ensure varietal characters were preserved. It was bottled after 11 months under screw cap to preserve freshness.


Deep garnet, purple; reserved and restrained on the bouquet, with pure blackberry and fruitcake spice on display; the palate is fresh, juicy and full of ample fine-grained tannins and well handled toasty oak; long and understated.
