The Aphelion crew love Grenache - so much so that they thought they'd turn their hand to it's white variety, too!
The fruit is sourced from a single vineyard in McLaren Vale - the biodynamic & organic Yangarra vineyard, to be exact. The grapes were hand picked at the perfect ripeness then whole bunch pressed to stainless steel. It was then set to mature before bottling, with a portion sent to French oak and the rest going to tank again to maintain freshness.
It comes out vibrant, fresh, full of citrus, stone fruit, pears and a sprinkling of gingery spice. A fantastic food friendly white.

"Pear, stonefruit, lemon zest, ginger biscuits and nutmeg... bright and complex rendition of this grape variety, that’s so often tricky to get just right."
