Description

2024 Aphelion Hickinbotham Grenache Noir is a refined single-vineyard Grenache from the renowned Hickinbotham Vineyard in Clarendon, one of the highest and coolest sites in McLaren Vale. This elevated vineyard produces Grenache with remarkable perfume, freshness and structure, showcasing a more elegant side of the region.

The 2024 vintage opens with lifted aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry and raspberry, layered with notes of rose petal, dried herbs and subtle white pepper spice. On the palate, vibrant red berry fruit is balanced by fine tannins and bright acidity, with hints of cranberry, savoury herbs and gentle earthy complexity adding depth. The finish is long, silky and beautifully refined.

Perfumed and expressive, this wine highlights the purity and finesse of high-altitude McLaren Vale Grenache, reflecting Aphelion’s focus on site-driven and elegant Grenache styles.

About the region

South Australia · McLaren Vale

South Australia grows more wine than any other Australian state, and its subregions behave almost like separate countries. Barossa and Eden Valley give Shiraz and Riesling, McLaren Vale leans to Grenache, Clare Valley to dry Riesling, Adelaide Hills to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and Coonawarra to Cabernet on red terra rossa soil. Strict quarantine has kept phylloxera out, so some vineyards still work vines planted in the nineteenth century.
