About The Wines

Welkin Grenache 2022 is a juicy and vibrant wine with outragrous aromatics. Designed to be enjoyed immediately, with goat chevre, tapas or as an aperitif on its' own.

Callow Grenache Blanc 2021 Our love affair with Grenache now extends to it's white wine form. Intense citrus and spice aromatics. A textural edge provides a food friendly aspect. Cinnamon and nutmeg spice complement the nashi pear and stone fruit flavours. 

Confluence 2022 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 2020 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.

Get to Know Confluence

Our first wine. The one that sparked our passion, and set our reputation for brilliant Grenache. Premium, ancient, twisted bush vine vineyards come together. Winemaking techniques of whole berry ferments, whole bunch ferments, careful pressing converge. Beautiful art and science. Elegant, savoury, delicious. 

Get to Know Emergent

Second to his love of Grenache, is Rob's love of Mouvedre aka Mataro aka Monastrell. Usually relegated to the "M" component of a GSM, Rob is dedicated to letting this star of a medium bodied variety shine in its' own right. Our cellar door visitors agree: Smart move Rob, smart move!

Get to Know Callow

Grenache Blanc is one of the permissable Chateauneuf du Pape varieties, so is beautifully suited to our McLaren Vale climate. A crisp white full of interest and very worthy of the name 'Grenache'.

Get to Know Affinity

My perennial personal favourite wine. This wine won us the trophy for Best Mediterranean Blend and Best Small Producer in 2019. Grenache dominant, supported by earthy, dark, mouth filling Mataro (Mourvèdre) and a truly tiny tickle of Shiraz. Just to add a sprinkle of spice-magic but not enough to dominate delicate Grenache or medium bodied Mataro.

About The Wines

Get to Know Pir.

Our top white wine. Oak and tank fermented fruit from 55 year old vines in the Blewitt Springs. Delicious poise, freshness and balance. Ripe stone fruit characters flow seamlessly across the palate.

Get to Know Affinity

My perennial personal favourite wine. This wine won us the trophy for Best Mediterranean Blend and Best Small Producer in 2019. Grenache dominant, supported by earthy, dark, mouth filling Mourvèdre create a wine much greater than the sum of its’ parts.

Get to Know Confluence

Our first wine. The one that sparked our passion, and set our reputation for brilliant Grenache. Premium, ancient, twisted bush vine vineyards come together. Winemaking techniques of whole berry ferments, whole bunch ferments, careful pressing converge. Beautiful art and science. Elegant, savoury, delicious. 

Get to Know Welkin Rosé.

Made from premium McLaren Vale Mataro. Elegant. Dry. Spiced. A beautiful salmon-orange colour. Aromatics of fresh flowers and just ripe strawberries. 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.

Get to Know Welkin Grenache.

We like to call the Welkin Grenache "furiously aromatic". It fairly leaps out of the glass at you! Delicately hand picked from a 20 year old Grenache vineyard towards the sea in Whites Valley.  Revel in this wine's light body, heady spiciness and juicy acidity..

Get to Know Welkin Nero d'Avola.

Devil by name, but not by nature. Beautifully intense purple in colour with aromatics that jump out of the glass. Pure fruited aromas of redcurrant and spicy plum follow through on to the palate. A slight rasp of powdery tannin mouth-grip adds a savoury element.

About The Wines

Welkin Sparkling Chenin Blanc 2021 RRP $28: Our first ever bubbly. Rob won the Chandon Sparkling prize during his Wine Degree so it is about time too! Pale straw colour in the glass. Aromatics of red apple and lemon curd lead to a palate that is fresh and vibrant. Great mouthfeel and length of the palate.

Welkin Clairette 2021 RRP $28: Back for the first time since 2017! Clairette is rare as hen's teeth and very special to us. We named our daughter after it, and visited the home of Clairette in South of France with our own Clairette in 2017. Aromatics of citrus blossom, cinnamon spice, and lime zest lead to a delicate palate with fresh fruit vibrancy and a water weight. A supremely elegant wine that relies on subtlety rather than power and rewards a taster who sees great value in purity.

Welkin Rosè 2022 RRP $28: After experimental Rosè projects in years past, our first permanent offering is here! 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 2022 RRP $28: We like to call the Welkin Grenache "furiously aromatic". It fairly leaps out of the glass at you! redcurrant and cinnamon follow
through on to the palate with fresh acidity keeping the wine lively and vibrant. A small percentage of whole bunch fermentation in the wine adds a savoury element and herbal notes.

Welkin Sagrantino Mataro 2020 RRP $28: Truly unique. The only one of it's kind (that we are aware of). Early release Sagrantino (60%) to capture the vibrant violet and blueberry aromas. Spicy, savoury Mataro rounds out this outstanding duet. 100% McLaren Vale fruit.
