Paxton Elizabeth Jane EJ Shiraz 2016
The EJ is Paxton Wines Flagship Shiraz, sourced from one of the oldest vineyards in McLaren Vale, and named after David Paxton’s mother and family matriarch Elizabeth Jean. A limited release wine, the EJ Shiraz is sourced from 125+ year-old vines from our Thomas Block vineyard, an exemplary Shiraz. 100%: Organic | Biodynamic | Vegan suitable.
Hand picking is the only way these grapes can be harvested. Following picking, we ferment the fruit in an open fermenter - monitoring temperature and gently hand plunging twice daily. Once pressed, we put away the pumps and gravity feed the wine into barrel. This is where the EJ rests in the 100% French Oak Barriques for 22 months. We then gravity feed the wine into tank ready for bottling. Once bottled, we cellar the EJ Shiraz for another 18 months prior to release.
A powerful yet graceful nose, with exceptional fruit characters and cinnamon spice from the French oak. Full bodied wine with dark fruit characters and hints of cocoa. Mid palate generosity showing old vine fruit concentration and fine grain tannins with a touch of French oak.
