Paxton AAA Shiraz Grenache 2022

Stunning value here. A blend of 55% Shiraz and 41% Grenache, with a further 4% Mataro, the wine spent nine months in French oak. A wine that just provides an explosion of flavour. AAA refers back to the wool industry, where this ranking was the top grade. The colour is reminiscent of a dark, bruised plum whilst the nose gives us notes of black fruits, chocolate, bay leaves, dry herbs and cassis. A supple texture, this is a wine that just dances across the palate. Utterly delicious and such cracking value there is very good length here, with silky tannins. Enjoy this over the next six to eight years.
