Aphelion Brini Grenache Noir 2024 13.5% 750ml

TASTING NOTES

APPEARANCE

Bright with a deep purple hue in the glass.

AROMA

Lifted aromatics of cinnamon spice, damson plum, and brown sugar with a briar character that evolves in time.

PALATE

Medium plus in body, a savoury bitterness with an herbal edge balances the sweet cherry fruit. Prominent tannin provides a good structure and flavour length.

WINEMAKERS COMMENTS

Part of our premium SV Grenache range, the fruit used to make this wine is sourced from a single vineyard in the northeast corner of the Blewitt Springs area of McLaren Vale owned by the Brini family. The most aromatic and elegant wine in the range, dark plum fruits dominate with earth and forest floor characters to create a wine of depth and richness.

CELLARING POTENTIAL

Enjoy now and will continue to evolve through to 2034.

VINIFICATION

The fruit was hand-picked on the 12th March and processed as a 100% whole bunch ferment. After a slow and cool ferment the fruit was pressed to large format neutral French oak where it remained on full lees until racking for bottling in May 2025.
