About The Wines
Welkin Chenin Blanc 2025 RRP $28: Bright, clean aromas and crisp flavours are the hallmark of our Adelaide Hills Chenin Blanc. From one - if not the only - Adelaide Hills Chenin vineyard. Toast summer and seafood with this beautiful Riesling style Chenin. 92 points Marcus Ellis for Halliday Wine Companion.
Welkin Rosè 2022 RRP $28: Ned Goodwin for James Halliday Wine Companion wrote "You'd be hard pressed to find a better Rosè than this."Elegant. Dry. Spiced. A beautiful salmon-orange colour. Aromatics of fresh flowers and just ripe strawberries jump out of the glass. Blood orange, grapefruit and cranberry characters mingle on to the palate with fresh acidity keeping the wine lively and vibrant. A tickle of tannin adds our signature savoury edge and provides good palate length.
Welkin Grenache 2024 RRP $28: We like to call the Welkin Grenache "furiously aromatic". It fairly leaps out of the glass at you! Revel in this wine's light body, heady spiciness and juicy acidity. 93 points Marcus Ellis for Halliday Wine Companion.
Aphelion 'Tendance' Shiraz 2020 RRP $42: The very last Aphelion Shiraz. Made in Rob's signature Rhone style, elegant and savoury. Beloved by critics and fans of cooler climate Shiraz, remarkably crafted in McLaren Vale with McLaren Vale grapes from the McMurtrie family.
Aphelion Emergent Mourvèdre 2022 RRP $42: This is our last vintage of a straight varietal Mourvedre. It is a stunning medium bodied wine with a moreish savoury edge of olive leaf and mushroom, sometimes leather. Aromatic dark fruit means the Aphelion Emergent Mourvèdre is easy to sip and savour by itself while being bold enough to enhance your meal.
From $42.00 /Per Bottle
Tendance Shiraz 2020 is our Aphelion take on the workhorse of McLaren Vale - Shiraz.
Tending more Rhone in style, Rob seeks out elegance, aromatics, spice and savouriness.
Variety:
Shiraz from two bordering vineyards on McMurtrie Road in the heart of McLaren Vale.
Summary:
A fruit forward wine with good structure and balance showing a finesse that McLaren Vale Shiraz rarely displays.
Tasting Note:
Inky purple with a deep core, violets, brambles and mulberries combine with wood spice on the nose and palate. Savoury notes of olive, cracked coffee, cedar and green herbs add complexity. The wine displays good length on the palate and a supple texture in its medium to full bodied frame.
Goes With Food:
The structure of the wine will work well with red meat dishes – venison and roasted vegetables would be a particularly good match.
Goes With Cheese:
An aged gouda (especially a lightly smoked version) will complement both the fruity and savoury aspects of this Shiraz.
Goes With Music:
Radiohead – Pyramid Song.
Goes With Life:
Bring this one out when main course is served – it won’t shy away from medium to full bodied dishes.
Serve At:
18 degrees Celsius.
When to Drink:
Ready to drink now, but will continue evolving through to 2035.
Vineyard:
Single cordon trellising and careful hand pruning resulted in low yields and intense flavour in the fruit.
Winemaking:
The two vineyards were picked a week apart in mid-March. The first vineyard’s fruit was destemmed and fermented to dryness before being gently pressed and sent to neutral French oak to mature. The second vineyard was fermented in two batches; one was pressed to a brand-new Dominique Laurent French oak 600L puncheon, the second was kept on skins for four months to impart savoury complexity before pressing to large format (600L) French oak. The parcels were blended prior to bottling in November 2019.
Unfiltered | Unfined | Vegan
Production:
300 dozen produced under screwcap.
