Personalised Aphelion Wait Grenache 2024 14.1% 750ml

TASTING NOTES

APPEARANCE

Deeply coloured with an intense ruby hue.

AROMA

Savoury aromatics of turned earth, root vegetable, and dark cherry are subtle but have great depth.

PALATE

The palate is firm with a very savoury and slightly saline edge. Tannin is the most prominent of the three SV wines, it comes in waves and carries the savoury edge of the wine across the palate with great length. This wine will stand up to a rich food pairing and will benefit with time in the cellar.

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 Wait family. Often the most structural and savoury wine in the range, brooding in character with earth and briary characters dominating the palate.

food matching

Redolent with a sausage and thyme ragu.

CELLARING POTENTIAL

Enjoy now and will continue to evolve through to 2034.

VINIFICATION

The fruit was hand-picked on the 6th 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.
