The Aphelion Confluence 2023 Grenache is a flagship wine that has been with the winery since its inception. As Grenache specialists, they present this wine as a perfect example of complexity and deliciousness, ideal for both food pairings and solo enjoyment.

This Grenache, sourced from the Blewitt Springs sub-region of McLaren Vale, is known for its vibrant red color with purple hues. Aromas of raspberry, cinnamon spice, and red liquorice leap from the glass, complemented by an intriguing herbal note. On the palate, Satsuma plum, wild strawberry, and fine sandalwood take center stage, supported by fine tannins that provide excellent length. The wine is intense and concentrated, yet remains light and balanced, showcasing a signature savory finish.

It pairs beautifully with pan-seared duck, enhancing the dish's spice and body. For cheese, a quality Camembert or washed rind cheese highlights the wine's flavors without overpowering its delicate structure. 

Best enjoyed at 18 degrees Celsius, the Aphelion Confluence 2023 Grenache is ready to drink now but will continue to evolve beautifully through to 2035.
