NEW TO THE RANGE | 96 POINTS – The Wine Front
"Magnificent grenache. So perfumed, so sure, so firm and yet so well extended. Velvety layers of blueberry, raspberry, violet and cedar come run through with sweet spice, mint, ozone and orange. The firm, extended control of the finish is a treat in itself. This is grenache as a foundation stone. It's an epic release from Aphelion." – Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, 96 Points
The newest addition to Aphelion's Single Site Grenache range. The Plaisted's vineyard was planted in 1947 and is now farmed by the Hatwell family, with Matt Hatwell one of McLaren Vale's gun viticulturists. Aphelion had long admired the wines made from this site, and one vintage was all it took: the 2025 fruit was so good that The Plaisted's went straight into the Single Site program.
Vintage
2025 was a short and sharp vintage, the earliest Aphelion has seen, with all fruit picked within a month. A warmer than average winter brought the whole season forward, so the ripening period was similar in length to prior years, and lovely late ripening temperatures delivered wines of high concentration and intense colour. Aphelion consider it a very strong year for Grenache in particular – perhaps close to the best they have seen.
