2023 Aphelion Rapture Grenache

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.

"Beautifully balanced, elegant wine, and already complex. It should reward many years of cellaring." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

"It has the pretty fragrance of the season, but is intrinsically savoury, in flavour and texture, distinctive sandy tannins and peppy freshness carrying the flavours tightly before they fan out impressively on the finish. Excellent, with ready appeal, but better in a couple of years."
- Marcus Ellis (Halliday Wine Companion)
