PAXTON JONES BLOCK SHIRAZ 2018
This is McLaren Vale Shiraz at its finest. From the acclaimed ‘Jones Block’, this wine is well regarded for its generous, yet elegant style. A small parcel was selected from our century old vines for complex fruit flavours and seamless structure. Grapes are hand pruned; wine is aged in fine grained French and American oak. As always, no corners cut. A rich, savoury and spicy blend, this wine has a fleshy middle palate and great length. Enjoyed with food, a glass or three of Paxton is certain to spice up the evening.

Concentrated clarity of fruit with blueberries, ripe plum and a hint of black pepper, supported with a lovely hint of spicy French oak that gives a savoury lift. A premium single vineyard Shiraz that is rich, dense and mouth-filling with flavour. The palate shows exceptional fruit quality and a sublime integration of premium French oak. Richness, depth and concentrated fruit flavour with notes of plums and blackcurrant give this wine amazing length and power.
This wine can be enjoyed young, however careful cellaring for 10-30 years will be rewarded
“This is superbly expressed on the nose showing blackberry, dark plum, cedar, warm spice and subtle cocoa notes, followed by a concentrated palate delivering terrific fruit power and richness. It’s wonderfully framed by loads of polished tannins, finishing delectably long and hugely appealing. At its best: 2022 to 2038.”
Sam Kim, 2021
