McLaren Vale is one of Australia's most unique and important wine regions as one of the most geologically diverse in the world, producing some of the world's best super premium wines.

Established in 1979, Paxton was founded by David Paxton, who built a reputation as one of Australia's most respected viticulturalists, has been growing wine grapes of exceptional quality for over 30 years. Today, under the direction and guidance of consultant winemaker Kate Goodman and winemaker Ashleigh Seymour, Paxton produces a collection of estate grown wines that showcases McLaren Vale's exceptional fruit quality, natural diversity, and varietal expression.

"Paxton's organic and biodynamic farming practices speak to their commitment to stewardship so relevant to the modern consumer. This, along with their enviable McLaren Vale location, one of the most significant growing regions for Australian shiraz and grenache, make them an ideal partner for our portfolio," said Ian Downey, Winebow EVP.
