Aphelion The Affinity Grenache Mourvèdre 2024

Aphelion The Affinity blends Grenache with Mourvèdre, the pairing that underpins Bandol and much of the southern Rhône.

Mourvèdre needs heat to ripen and brings tannin, colour and a savoury edge that Grenache lacks on its own, which is why the two have been grown together for centuries in the Mediterranean and in McLaren Vale, where both were planted long ago for fortified wine. Aphelion ferments each variety separately with native yeast and whole bunches, then blends before ageing in seasoned oak.

Serve at 16 degrees with slow-roast lamb, game or a rich stew. Drink over the next ten years.
