Paxton Wines Grenache 2025 from McLaren Vale is a vibrant, biodynamic bush‑vine grenache that manages to be plush, fragrant and seriously structured all at once – a real showcase of Paxton’s organic credentials and ancient Seaview soils. This Paxton Grenache 2025 is hand‑picked and wild fermented from Landcross Farm fruit, giving it real character in the glass.

In the glass it’s mulberry‑silk in colour with a plush explosion of wild strawberry and ripe raspberry, lifted by lemongrass, native mint, tarragon and basil notes that give a savoury, herbal twist. There’s dusty earth, purple florals and a quiet hum of seasoned French oak underneath, while the palate wraps vibrant red fruit in a creamy, mouth‑coating texture, finished by a “fairy dust” sprinkle of fine tannin and refreshing natural acidity.

Food‑wise, it’s brilliant with spicy Asian or Indian dishes, where that juicy red fruit, herbal lift and gentle grip play beautifully with heat and aromatics. It will also shine with chargrilled lamb, wood‑fired pizza or a mezze spread, and with a drinking window out to 2039, you can enjoy it now for its generosity or watch it gain savoury complexity over time.
