Affinity 2024 Grenache Mourvèdre is a key flagstone wine for us. We are known for our Grenache and Mourvèdre, and our Affinity is a perfect example of complex, delicious wine that is much greater than the sum of it's premium parts.

Meet the Affinity

Variety: An 85/15 blend of McLaren Vale Grenache and Mourvèdre.

Summary: A blend of single vineyard McLaren Vale Grenache and single vineyard Willunga South Mourvèdre results in a wine with oodles of complexity. Good roundness of fruit flavour on the mid palate leads to a savoury finish with powdery tannin.

Tasting Note: A beautiful and crisp savoury edge runs through this wine from aroma to palate. The whole bunch ferment characters appear in the form of spicy herbal complexity whilst the youthful Grenache component keeps the feel fresh and vibrant. Savoury, spicy, complex.

Goes With Food: Matches well to lighter red meat dishes such as venison or rare lamb, but is equally well suited to a vegetarian lasagne. Versatility is a key component of this wine.

Goes With Cheese: An aged cloth bound cheddar or mid strength parmesan matches the subtle tannin profile of The Affinity.

Goes With Music: PJ Harvey – Down By The Water.

Goes With Life: Laughter and languid lounging with loved ones.

Serve At: 18 degrees Celsius.

When to Drink: Ready to drink now, but will continue evolving through to 2031.

Vineyard: The Grenache fruit comes from the Romano family’s single vineyard in the Seaview sub-district of McLaren Vale. The Mourvèdre is from the Lacey family’s single vineyard in Willunga South..

Winemaking: Both parcels of wine that make up this blend were fermented and aged separately before blending. A portion of stems was used in the Grenache ferment. Some pre-ferment cold soak was used with the Mourvèdre portion. The wine was then matured for ten months in neutral French puncheons and hogsheads prior to bottling in February 2025.

Accolades:

94 points David Sly for Decanter

93 point Marcus Ellis for Halliday Wine Companion

"A silky blend of Grenache with Mourvèdre provides an intriguing embrace of alluring elegance with backbone and drive...Instead, the pretty wild raspberry perfume of Grenache rises high from the glass and provides a sweet opening kiss, before the palate opens to show deep red fruits and a hint of smooth blackberry, embraced by the mild spice and firm structure of supple Mourvèdre. This blend keeps improving through successive vintages, with less width and more sustained tension in the flavour profile due to Mack’s keen attention to detail." - David Sly for Decanter

"85/15% grenache from Seaview/mourvèdre from Whites Valley; 15% whole bunch. Strawberry, raspberry and morello cherry, intensely rendered – though with plenty of airspace, transparency and flow – along with scrubby herbs, dried bay, turned earth, blood orange, cracked pepper and some darker spices. It has volume but not weight on the palate, the tannins finely wrought yet chewy, a burst of freshness to close." - Marcus Ellis for Halliday Wine Companion

Twelve exceptional wines. Two of South Australia's most passionate Grenache specialists. One very special collaboration.

We've been talking Grenache with our friends at Thistledown Wines for a long time.

So when we got together for our Grenache Masterclass, it seemed only natural to put some of our favourite bottles side by side — and then invite you to take the tasting home.

The result is this very special mixed dozen , bringing together the white and red wines tasted at the Aphelion x Thistledown Grenache Masterclass.

You'll discover Grenache Blanc, Grenache Noir and Roussanne from distinctive South Australian vineyards, with wines from McLaren Vale, Clarendon, Blewitt Springs and Eden Valley.

Glorious for gifting. Even better for gathering friends around the table.

And there's a very rare bottle in the mix...

Twelve wines from two Grenache obsessives

Inside your dozen you'll find eight different wines from Aphelion and Thistledown — with four wines represented twice so there's plenty to share.

And one bottle is particularly special: Rapture Old Vine Grenache Noir 2022 , an ultra-rare release from Aphelion's personal museum stock.

Eight wines. Twelve bottles. Countless ways to explore Grenache.

This is where the dozen gets interesting.

You'll taste Grenache in white and red form , alongside Roussanne, and discover just how versatile this variety can be.

You'll move from McLaren Vale to Clarendon and Eden Valley , tasting how site and altitude can shape the variety.

You'll compare wines made from blended sites with single-site Grenache .

You'll taste fresh young releases alongside a rare museum wine with time in bottle.

And you'll taste two wineries with very different personalities, but the same singular obsession:

making exceptional Grenache.

Two wineries. One obsession.

We're both small, independent Australian wine producers with an unusually deep fascination with Grenache.

At Aphelion, Grenache is at the heart of what we do. We're interested in old vines, remarkable sites and wines that express where they come from rather than simply conforming to a style.

Thistledown share that obsession, championing Grenache from some of South Australia's most distinctive vineyards and building a reputation for finely made, site-driven wines.

Put the two together and you get a fascinating snapshot of South Australian Grenache — from the vineyards of McLaren Vale and Clarendon to the high-altitude Eden Valley.

3 x Thistledown Walking with Kings Roussanne Grenache Blanc 2024 - RRP $65 ea
A Rhône-inspired white from McLaren Vale, combining richly textured Roussanne from Sellicks Hills with crisp, green apple and citrus-driven Grenache Blanc from biodynamic vineyards in Kangarilla. Creamy, aromatic and exotic, with vibrant freshness and remarkable versatility. 95 points, Halliday Wine Companion.

3 x Aphelion Callow Grenache Blanc 2025 - RRP $42 ea
A vibrant, textural and spice-laced expression of Grenache Blanc from certified Organic and Biodynamic Yangarra Vineyard in Kangarilla, McLaren Vale. Hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed, Callow combines citrus, nashi pear and stone fruit with cinnamon and nutmeg, finishing long and precise with refreshing acidity. 94+ points, Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion.

Two wines. Two perspectives on Grenache Blanc.

This is what makes the collection so much fun.

You'll taste two distinctive interpretations of Grenache Blanc from McLaren Vale, made by two small Australian wineries with a singular fascination for Grenache.

Walking with Kings brings together Roussanne and Grenache Blanc, pairing the creamy, aromatic texture of Roussanne with the crisp green apple and citrus character of Grenache Blanc.

Callow takes a different path: a single-variety Grenache Blanc from Yangarra Vineyard in Kangarilla, with bright acidity, spice, stone fruit and a fine, textural finish.

Two vineyards and approaches.

Two winemaking personalities.

Six bottles to taste side by side.

And a delicious opportunity to discover just how expressive Grenache Blanc can be.

Taste them both.

Two wineries. One obsession.

We're both small, independent Australian wine producers with an unusually deep fascination with Grenache.

At Aphelion, Grenache is at the heart of what we do. We're interested in old vines, remarkable sites and wines that express where they come from rather than simply conforming to a style.

Thistledown share that obsession, championing Grenache from some of South Australia's most distinctive vineyards and exploring the variety across different sites, styles and expressions.

Put the two together and you get a fascinating snapshot of what McLaren Vale white wine can be — from a Rhône-inspired Roussanne and Grenache Blanc blend to a pure, site-driven Grenache Blanc.

Why these two wines?

Grenache Blanc doesn't always get the attention its red-skinned sibling receives. We think that's a shame.

It's capable of producing wines that are fresh without being simple, textured without being heavy, and aromatic without losing precision.

Walking with Kings and Callow show two sides of that versatility.

One brings Roussanne into the conversation.

The other lets Grenache Blanc take centre stage.

Both belong on the table.

The Brini Single Vineyard Grenache 2024 is sourced from the upper tank block owned by the Brini family in the Blewitt Springs sub-region of McLaren Vale.

This block has been a staple of Aphelion from our first vintage and forms the backbone of the Confluence Grenache.

The roundest and most intense wine in the range, dark plum fruits dominate with earth and forest floor characters to create a wine of depth and richness. Sandy based loam soils provide fruit that gives intensity and a brooding edge.

Sourced from the 52 year old house block owned by the Brini family since we first produced Chenin Blanc in 2019. 

Golden apple, white pear, green melon, and fennel seed, with subtle oak notes from its Stockinger puncheon. It has a chiselled, mineral texture, and is electrified by bright, natural acidity. Reserved in its youth, it promises excellent complexity and length with more time in the bottle.

"This may be McLaren Vale’s, indeed the country’s, top-priced chenin blanc. But why not?...Beautifully refined and elegant, oak a calm chaperone, with golden apple, white pear, fennel seed, a little oatmeal and a maritime thing, lit up with oyster shells and sea breezes. It’s chiselled, mineral, subtly textural and electrified by ripe, natural acidity. Lovely. Only 600 bottles made." - Marcus Ellis for Halliday Wine Companion

"(A) perfumed finish of excellent length, some lemon zest in the aftertaste. Complex and composed. It does show a bit of oak scaffolding, though it’s very nice oak mind you, and will almost certainly improve with more time in bottle." - Gary Walsh for The Wine Front

"Lovely finish. Will be excellent in time." - Campbell Mattinson for The Wine Front

"(S)oft, round and flavoursome in its youth, with more to show in the future. The finish is crisp and refreshing with appley acidity and crunch. Slightly coconutty. This needs more time." - Huon Hooke for The Real Review
