Pax Wines, owned solely by the talented duo Pax and Pamela Mahle, is a testament to the power of passion and perseverance in the world of wine. With a desire to create a lifestyle centered around their love for wine, the Mahles made the bold move to wine country in 1997. After years of exploring and tasting wines from all over California, Pax finally found his calling in the form of Alder Springs Vineyard.
This serendipitous discovery led to the birth of the PAX brand in 2000, which quickly gained recognition for its focus on the untapped potential of the Syrah grape. The Mahles' unwavering commitment to sourcing fruit from cool climate vineyards in Sonoma County and Mendocino, coupled with their dedication to organic and sustainable farming practices, has solidified Pax Wines as one of California's top producers of Syrah.
But the journey didn't stop there. Pax Wines has since evolved to include a diverse range of rare and intriguing varieties, all carefully selected from premier sites up and down the Californian coast. From Trousseau Gris to Pineau D'Aunis and Mondeuse Noire, all wines are crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail. This includes traditional foot crushing, fermentation using ambient yeasts, and a commitment to avoiding unnatural additives.
In a world where mass production often takes precedence, Pax Wines stands out as a shining example of passion and dedication to the craft of winemaking. With a portfolio that continues to impress and inspire, this producer is a true gem in the world of American wine.
