Tasting Notes for Paxton Tempranillo 2022 from the Winery

A lighter style the wine is approachable and soft with attractive aromatics.

Vinification

The grapes in each individual vineyard are tasted over and over again until reaching perfect plumpness. Each vineyard block is fermented separately in small open top fermenters and painstakingly hand plunged for around 14 days until the sugars are completely dry. Racked into older French oak barriques and puncheons to rest for the next eight months before blending and bottling for your enjoyment
