About The Wines
Kryos Chenin Blanc 2019 is a rare example of Adelaide Hills Chenin Blanc. Capturing
the pure fruit purity from the cooler Adelaide Hills, it is vibrant and fresh. We liken the
style to a Riesling or a Semillon.
Welkin Grenache 2020 is a juicy and vibrant young wine with outragrous aromatics.
Designed to be enjoyed immediately, with goat chevre, tapas or as an aperitif on its’
own.
Confluence 2019 Grenache is the coming together of premium Grenache from a number of vineyards in the sandy soil dress-circle of Blewitt Springs. It showcases the best of McLaren Vale’s elegant, savoury Grenache style.
Affinity 2019 GMS goes one step further with a very Rob Mack take on the classic
Rhone / Chateauneuf du Pape blend. Here select parcels and premium barrels of
Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz are brought together to make a truly rounded and
balanced wine with juicy acid, powdery tannin and the best of juicy red berries from
Grenache and earthy mid and back palate from Mataro and Shiraz.
Tendance 2018 Shiraz is Rob’s elegant, aromatic and savoury take on the McLaren Vale
stalwart of Shiraz. Expect spice, layered texture and a European style in your glass.
Rapture (GMS) 2017 is our pinnacle wine, showcasing the best barrels of vintage. Dark
roses and earth on opening then evolve to display bright violet and black cherry. Dusty and assertive tannins. Our peak wine of 2017 – generously rewarded with reviews from Australia’s best wine critics.

The Aphelion Confluence 2019 Grenache is a key flagstone wine for us. We are known for our Grenache and our Confluence is a perfect example of complex, delicious wine that works as beautifully with food as it does being savoured on its' own.
Variety: Grenache from Blewitt Springs sub region of McLaren Vale.
Summary: This complex, aromatic, food friendly, but fantastically drinkable wine evolves in your glass. Good structure and length. Carries our signature savoury finish.
Tasting Note: Crunchy strawberry and Campari aromatics lead to a juicy palate full of ripe cranberries and a herbal edge thanks to the whole bunch component of this wine. A long length of flavour is provided by a beautiful line of acidity and a pure crystalline core of red berry fruit. A rasp of tannin on the finish ensures versatility.
Goes With Food: Pan seared duck matches the spice and body of the wine well.
Goes With Cheese: The mushroom characters of a quality Camembert or washed rind cheese will complement the wine’s flavours and won’t dominate its delicate structure.
Goes With Music: Nick Cave – Jubilee Street
Goes With Life: Out for a fancy dinner or aperitivo on the back deck.
Serve At: 18 degrees Celsius.
When to Drink: Ready to drink now, but will continue evolving through to 2030.
Vineyard: All hand-picked fruit. 60% grown on 80 year old bush vines in Blewitt Springs, the balance from a separate Blewitt Springs vineyard with 50 year old vines. Both vineyards on sandy soil.
Winemaking: A blend of whole berry (70%) and whole bunch (30%) ferments. Majority free run juice with a small percentage of light
pressings. A portion of the wine was left on skins for four months to add spice and depth. Aged in neutral French oak puncheons and foudre for ten months before blending and bottling. Unfined, unfiltered, vegan, low sulphur.
Production: 430 dozen produced under screwcap.

Emergent Mataro 2018 has a special place in Rob’s heart. Savoury herbs, dark fruit, aromatic and easy to sip and savour by itself while being bold enough to enhance your meal.
Variety: Mataro from three vineyards running the length of McLaren Vale.
Summary: A beautiful mix of savoury characters and bright red fruits. Complexity builds in the glass.
Tasting Note: The aromatics of this wine jump out the glass with sage, cherry spice and fresh almonds. Powdery tannins provide a canvas for the flavours that wash across the medium bodied palate, and bright acidity keeps the wine fresh and vibrant. Our 2018 Mataro has a very long finish and persistent drive with an elegant fruit profile.
Goes With Food: Very food friendly due to its savoury characters – try with duck rillettes and fresh crusty bread. (We love Little Acre Foods Duck Rillettes!)
Goes With Cheese: An aged Pecorino would match the body of the wine and complement it’s acidity and spiciness.
Goes With Music: Vance Joy – Lay It On Me
Goes With Life: When the inspiration strikes to try something a little left of centre.
Serve At: 16-18 degrees Celsius. Unfined & unfiltered so some sediment may remain - we recommend decanting.
When to Drink: Ready to drink now, but will continue evolving through to 2030.
Vineyard: Sourced from three vineyards. The first is in Blewitt Springs, the climatically coolest part of the Vale. The second vineyard is a couple of kilometres south of Willunga town. The third vineyard is in the Sellicks foothills further South.
Winemaking: All three Mataro batches received different treatment in the winery. The Blewitt Springs Mataro was destemmed and then cold soaked for 2 days pre-ferment to extract vibrant colour. The Willunga ferment was fermented with 50% as whole bunches of grapes. The Sellicks portion was destemmed and fermented as whole berries. All batches were matured in neutral French oak before blending and bottling in July 2019. Unfined, unfiltered, vegan, low sulphur.
Production: 180 dozen produced under screwcap.
