From the single vineyard site in the McLaren Vale comes this intensely dark crimson coloured Shiraz from the team at Paxton. Intense dark crimson in colour and equally intense flavours - this is for lovers of beautifully complex wine. It is a clear expression of its unique site.

Sourced from a vineyard nestled in the foothills of the cool southern vales of the Yarra Valley where the grey loam soils show seams of deep red volcanic clay, the 2015 Seville syrah is handpicked, fermented with a high proportion of whole bunches and receives no additions other than a small amount of sulphur dioxide at picking and bottling. It is then aged in older French barrels before being bottled unfiltered and unfined.

The fruit for the Single Vineyard A8 Syrah is hand harvested and handled by gravity where possible. Dense red with purple. Perfumed, alluring, spice and violets. Flavours of dark fruits and graphite, graceful and textural.

AZUDA is a recognition of the famous water wheels of Almahue. These have become a true inspiration for our wines, produced from non traditional grape varieties of Almahue Valley, serving as a symbol of innovation, and ingenuity against human limitations. Azuda wines are produced with no chemicals, and only a minimal amount of sulfite is added before bottling. Since these wines are not stabilized, some harmless tartrate crystal sediment, which does not affect the quality of the wine, may be found in the glass. 50% of our wine is aged in used 300 -litre French oak barrels , 6% in new 500-litre Sylvain barrels and as of this year, the remaining 44% in 800-litre clay amphora, seeking to deliver greater strength and minerality highlighting the Almahue Valley fruit. Deep intense ruby red color On the nose the wine is both intense and elegant with lively black fruit aromas such as blackberries, blueberries and plums with touches of minerality like gunpowder. The wine shows exceptional complexity and structure, while being suported by powerful tannins.
