Aphelion Brini McLaren Vale Grenache Noir 2024 - 6 Bottles
Winery Background
Aphelion, a boutique McLaren Vale producer, is renowned for its focus on small-batch wines that highlight the elegance and versatility of Grenache. The Brini Grenache Noir is crafted from carefully selected vineyard sites, showcasing purity of fruit and a strong sense of place.
Vineyards and Vintage Conditions
Sourced from old-vine Grenache blocks in McLaren Vale, the 2024 vintage enjoyed warm days and cool evenings, providing ideal ripening conditions. The result was fruit with lifted aromatics, balanced acidity, and fine tannins.
Winemaking Process
Hand-picked fruit was partially whole-bunch fermented to enhance fragrance and texture. Minimal intervention winemaking preserved vibrancy, while maturation in seasoned French oak allowed the fruit to shine without overt oak influence.
Tasting Notes
Bright ruby in colour. Aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate are accented by hints of spice and dried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied and silky, offering juicy red fruits, subtle savoury notes, and a long, graceful finish.
Food Pairing
A versatile wine that pairs with roast duck, lamb cutlets, Mediterranean dishes, or chargrilled vegetables.
