Paxton
NOW Chardonnay
NOW by Paxton stands for 'Natural Organic Wine.' As leaders in organic production, Paxton wanted to create a Biodynamic and USDA Certified Organic natural wine with no added preservatives in a young, drink 'now' style of Chardonnay.
Wine Production
The grapes are harvested in the cool of the night once the grapes have reached optimum sugar and flavor equilibrium. Whole berry pressed and fermented between 59 - 64 degrees Fahrenheit. Post primary fermentation, the wine is left on fine lees throughout and after malolactic fermentation, stirred weekly to increase mouthfeel and creaminess and protect the wine from oxidation. The wine is bottled after only a couple of months aging in stainless steel tanks to preserve the beautiful fruit flavors.
Tasting Notes
A fruit salad of native finger lime, pear d'Anjou, with wild spearmint, elderflower and a touch of tarragon. Bright and bouncy like jumping for the clouds on a backyard trampoline. This Chardonnay sits up straight but has a sneaky scrumptious and vibrant feel once allowed to relax. Drink NOW.
Food Pairing
This wine would pair beautifully with butternut squash risotto with leeks and spinach.
