2024 Aphelion The Affinity Grenache Mourvèdre is a vibrant Rhone-inspired blend from McLaren Vale, crafted by Aphelion Wine Co., a producer known for championing Grenache and Mediterranean varieties from the region’s old vineyards. The Affinity highlights the natural partnership between Grenache’s bright fruit and Mourvèdre’s savoury depth.
The 2024 vintage shows lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, layered with hints of dried herbs, white pepper and subtle earthy spice. On the palate, juicy red berry fruit is balanced by gentle savoury notes, fine tannins and fresh acidity. Mourvèdre adds structure and complexity, giving the wine depth while maintaining elegance and drinkability.
Bright, expressive and beautifully balanced, this blend captures the modern style of McLaren Vale Grenache-based wines, offering both vibrancy and subtle complexity.
