The Wine People Paxton Hive Shiraz Mataro is a balanced red blend, combining Shiraz and Mataro grapes. Hailing from the McLaren Vale region in South Australia, this wine reflects the area's commitment to biodynamic agriculture. The blend consists of approximately 70% Shiraz and 30% Mataro, also known as Mourvèdre, offering a distinct character typical of this varietal combination.

Shiraz brings bold flavors and aromas to the table while contributing to the wine’s body and structure. It offers notes of dark fruit such as plum and blackberry. Meanwhile, Mataro adds complexity with subtle earthy undertones, herbal elements, and spice notes. Together, these varietals produce an integrated profile that appeals to those who appreciate nuanced reds.

The wine undergoes fermentation in open-top vessels which allows for a more controlled temperature during fermentation and promotes optimal extraction of flavors. Subsequent aging occurs in oak barrels which enhances structural balance without overpowering the wine's intrinsic flavors.

On tasting, you may notice medium tannins providing texture without excessive astringency. A balanced acidity complements its fullness on the palate making it suitable alongside various cuisines such as grilled meats or hearty vegetable dishes.

Paxton's approach embodies sustainable winemaking practices that minimize environmental impact while maintaining quality standards. The Wine People Paxton Hive Shiraz Mataro exemplifies their dedication to producing wines that respect both nature and craftsmanship.
