WINE MAKING PROCESS
The "Now" 2022 Shiraz is produced using minimal winemaking intervention. Fermentation is carried out with native yeasts, allowing for a natural expression of the grape. The wine undergoes aging for one year in French oak barrels. Harvest occurs at peak ripeness to capture the optimal fruit characteristics. Paxton Vineyards' approach prioritizes sustainability through certified organic and biodynamic farming practices, focusing on soil health and avoiding synthetic inputs. A distinctive element of their natural winemaking is bottling without added sulfur.
