Aphelion The Emergent Mourvedre 2020 14.4%-750ml

Tasting Notes

Aroma
The aromatics of this wine jump out the glass with sage, cherry spice and fresh almonds.

Palate
Powdery tannins provide a canvas for the flavours that wash across the medium bodied palate, and bright acidity keeps the wine fresh and vibrant. Our 2020 Mourvèdre has a very long finish and persistent drive with an elegant fruit profile.

Region notes
Sourced from the Lacey family vineyard in the White’s Valley sub-district of McLaren Vale. The vineyard block is tiny, around three acres and the fruit is hand-picked.

Food matching
Very food friendly due to its savoury characters – try with duck rillettes and fresh crusty bread.

Cellaring potential
Ready to drink now but will continue evolving through to 2030.

Vinification
The hand-picked fruit was fermented with 25% whole bunches with the remaining destemmed. After pressing the wine was matured in seasoned French oak puncheons before blending and bottling in February 2021. Unfined & unfiltered.
