Layers of rocky minerality are complemented by pear
where vineyards have thrived since Roman times
The vineyard is meticulously designed and planted to create a diverse mosaic of blocks
it’s lifted by floral notes and a whisper of graphite
benefiting from extended wet winters and a warm growing season
Paxton Queen of the Hive Red Blend 2025 Layers of rocky minerality areA harmonious blend of 48% Grenache, 46% Shiraz, and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon and Mataro, aged in French oak. A vivid crimson red in the glass, it reveals an enticing bouquet of wild strawberries, blood plums, orange peel, and a touch of liquorice root. The palate is silky and mellow, unfolding with notes of poached rhubarb and the native brightness of Kakadu plum, leading to a soft, lingering finish.
