McLaren Vale Grenache from Multiple Remarkable Sites | 95 Points | Limited Release

Aphelion Confluence Grenache Noir 2025 is a $42 McLaren Vale Grenache made predominantly from Blewitt Springs fruit, with a touch of Clarendon, and awarded 95 points by Marcus Ellis for Halliday Wine Companion.

What happens when you bring some of McLaren Vale's most distinctive Grenache sites together?

You get Confluence.

Our original Grenache.

A wine that has been with us from the very beginning.

And if you want to understand why we're so obsessed with Grenache, this is a pretty good place to start.

Meet Confluence Grenache Noir 2025

Confluence is our expression of what happens when different sites, different soils and different expressions of Grenache come together.

The 2025 vintage brings together fruit predominantly from Blewitt Springs, with a touch of Clarendon, creating a McLaren Vale Grenache that is aromatic, complex, structured and remarkably easy to drink.

It's serious enough for dinner.

Relaxed enough for the back deck.

And interesting enough that you'll probably find yourself going back to the glass to see what changed.

That's Confluence.

Why Buy Confluence Grenache 2025?

What Does Confluence Grenache Taste Like?

Pour it and you'll see the vibrant red colour with purple hues in the glass.

At first, there's a savoury core of olive and briar.

Give it some air.

That's when the fruit starts to emerge.

Crunchy raspberry. Cranberry.

Then the palate opens up into Satsuma plum, wild strawberry and fine sandalwood, carried by fine tannins that give the wine impressive length.

There's real intensity and concentration here, but without heaviness or cloying sweetness.

It's the kind of Grenache that rewards attention without demanding it.

Pour a glass. Give it some air. Come back to it.

You'll probably find something new.

A Confluence of McLaren Vale Sites

Confluence isn't a single-site wine.

That's the point.

It brings together fruit from several remarkable vineyards to create something greater than any one parcel could achieve.

This is one of the reasons we love Grenache.

It can express the personality of a place with remarkable clarity — but it can also show what happens when different places are brought together deliberately.

Confluence is the latter.

How We Made Confluence Grenache 2025

Grenache fruit was hand-picked and a portion of the fruit was fermented as whole bunches.

30% whole bunch fermentation took place in stainless steel and small concrete open-top fermenters.

The wine was then matured in a combination of:

• 1,500L Drunk Turtle cocciopesto
• Seasoned French 2,800L foudre
• Demi-muid oak

The result is a wine with structure and complexity without letting oak dominate the fruit or site character.

Bottled February 2026.

Made for the Table

Confluence is deliberately food friendly.

It's got enough structure to stand up to dinner, enough freshness to keep you reaching for another glass and enough savoury character to make food taste better.

Goes With Food

Pan-seared duck.

The spice and body of the duck are a beautiful match for the wine.

Goes With Cheese

Camembert or a washed-rind cheese.

The mushroom characters in the cheese complement the wine without overwhelming its more delicate structure.

Goes With Music

Nick Cave – Jubilee Street.

It begins with restraint and keeps building - layer upon layer, tension upon tension - much like Confluence as it opens in the glass. What starts savoury and brooding becomes increasingly expressive, before that long, insistent finish refuses to disappear quietly.

Goes With Life

The dinner that wasn’t meant to go this long.

You booked for 7. It’s now pushing 10. The plates have been cleared, nobody’s checking the time, and someone asks the question every good dinner eventually gets to:

“Should we get another bottle?”

Confluence is that bottle.

Interesting enough to keep you coming back to the glass. Easy enough that the conversation never has to stop for it.

Because sometimes the moments worth counting are the ones you didn’t plan.

When Should You Drink Confluence 2025?

Now.

Confluence 2025 is ready to drink, but it has the structure, concentration and tannin to continue evolving through to 2035.

Serve at 18°C.

If you're drinking it tonight, give it some time in the glass.

If you're putting some away, expect the savoury and structural elements to become increasingly integrated with time.

Critic Recognition

95 points - Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion

Confluence has been one of the wines at the heart of Aphelion since the beginning, and the 2025 vintage continues that story with the combination we love: perfume, savouriness, structure, freshness and drinkability.

It's Grenache with enough going on to reward the serious wine drinker, without becoming a wine you have to think about.

Is Confluence the Right McLaren Vale Grenache for You?

Buy Confluence if you want a Grenache that's...

• Aromatic rather than heavy — expressive fruit and savoury complexity without excessive weight.
• Food friendly — structured enough for dinner but fresh enough to keep drinking.
• Complex without being complicated — there are layers here, but you don't need a wine degree to enjoy them.
• Distinctively McLaren Vale — drawing on fruit from some of the vineyards we know and work with closely.
• Built to evolve — ready now, with the structure to develop through 2035.
• A genuine Aphelion original — Confluence has been part of our Grenache story from the very beginning.

Choose Confluence if you want:

a premium McLaren Vale Grenache that's drinking beautifully now; a savoury rather than sweet expression of Grenache; a highly rated Australian red under $50; or an introduction to Aphelion before exploring our Single Site Grenaches.

Hickinbotham Single Site 2024 is a benchmark Grenache wine from one of the best McLaren Vale Grenache vineyards - vibrant, savoury, elegant and cellar-worthy.

Aphelion began with Grenache. Our focus is Grenache. Our future is Grenache.

Our original 2014 "Grenache project" has evolved. 

Each vintage we coax from the earth three exceptional McLaren Vale Single Vineyard Grenache wines. 

Made the same way each year using 100% whole bunches, each highlights the diversity and beauty of Grenache and the many terroirs of McLaren Vale. 

Guided by the deft and gentle hands of Rob Mack they sing of their purity and place.

_______________________________________________________

Sourced from Blocks 111-113 at the highest elevation of the Hickinbotham vineyard owned by Yangarra in Clarendon, close to the Adelaide Hills.

A southerly aspect provides respite from the hot afternoon sun during ripening ensuring that this fruit is the last Grenache harvested. This produces a very well developed flavour profile.

The highest altitude wine in the range with vibrancy and crisp acid drive, red fruits mingle with herbal briar characters to create a wine of freshness and depth.

 Lifted aromatics of cranberry, bramble, and cherry. Herbal characters abound on the palate, with rosehip, just-ripe strawberry, and blood orange flavours. A rasp of light tannin provides good length and a savoury finish.

_____________________________________________________

Halliday Wine Companion placed our Hickinbotham Single Site Grenache 2024 as one of their Best Australian Grenache's on their Ultimate Aussie Festive Wine List. Marcus Ellis also gave our wine 97 points and a Special Value rosette. Noice.

Campbell Mattinson of The Wine Front said of the Hickinbotham 2024:

"I lost an hour or so today because I was sitting and marvelling at this wine and wondering how the hell I could do it justice in words. Some wines are better than the person writing about them. This wine pulls out the spice box and throws it at you, the fortunate thing being that the box wasn’t full and so what hits you seems reasonable. There are red licorice notes, red and black cherry, sandalwood, potpourri, an assortment of dry, roasted spices, a musky-vanillin-strawberry-shake note, and a peppercorn aspect. The way the flavours here volley through the palate, and the way it feels dry in the face of its own ripeness, and the way it then pulls a film of firm tannin right back through the wine – is all both magnificent and elite."

"(G)loriously fragrant and complex, invested with depth and absent of heft. A swirl of red florals, souk spices, sandalwood, cranberry, sour cherry and umeboshi. The whole bunch adds savouriness, detail, lift and finely etched tannin, but knits in so quietly, with effortless integration. It’s a wine that makes me want to linger over the nose, so captivating is the fragrance. But it’s equally good on the palate, trailing long, the flavour fanning out expansively. Superb." - Marcus Ellis

"Medium-deep red-purple; lovely sweet raspberry/cherry fruit laced with mixed spices and iodine, with some complexing earthy/tarry and ironstone touches. Intense sweet fruit backed by emery-like tannins that dry the finish. Very smart Grenache" - Huon Hooke

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.

__________________________________

"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

__________________________________

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.

"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

Meet NB Grenache 2024

Tasting Note: 

Black cherry. Star anise. 1/4 teaspoon of crushed blueberries. 

Then sniff again. 

The back of nanna's dried herb cupboard. 

Another sniff. 

Bright raspberry and cranberry!

Told you it's a chameleon. 

It tastes like early summer in the early afternoon. The BBQ is on, the friends are on the deck chairs while the kids shout from the trampoline and the dog drools every time someone pops cheese and cracker in their mouth. 

It's juicy with raspberry, supported by dark undertones and a welcome lick of tannin. 

Honestly, at $220 a dozen for a Rob Mack made Grenache, from 100 year old vines in Blewitt Springs, why on earth wouldn't you add to cart?!

Goes With Food: Grilled lamb cutlets with rosemary, wood-fired pizza, charred capsicum & haloumi skewers, or anything shared straight from the BBQ plate before it reaches the table.

Goes With Cheese: Vintage cheddar, aged Manchego, or a creamy D’Affinois — bonus points if there are crackers and you’re eating standing up, chatting, distracted.
