Description
This is an elite example of McLaren Vale Grenache from Rob Mack and the Aphelion team.
It's only released in years when the quality of fruit is just right, to craft the best of the best in their fleet of delicious Grenache offerings.
This is a wine that will develop well with some time in a quiet, dark place. This is the apex predator in the Aphelion range.
Only 40 dozen made... get in quick.

"Cherry, raspberry, Earl Grey tea, fresh herbs, spicy biscuits. It’s a bit more squishy in the red fruit department than some of the other wines from 2022, kind of poached strawberry and spice, fresh mint, dusty and gently grainy tannin grip, orange zest topped friand, a fair bit of mouth-perfume, and a succulent yet quietly ferrous finish of excellent length. In terms of overall balance, maybe the best of the 2022 releases, though maybe less individual in personality? Still, it’s really impressive and very good."
