Fascinating set of three wines. The Trenerry is the most perfumed roses, a little menthol, on red fruits, rhubarb and a little orange citrus. Fine, delicate and Pinotesque. Herbal stalk spice with a little grip from stalk tannin. Playful and fun. Fruit builds depth and length in the glass. A freshness, lively acidity and perfume. It will be fascinating to see how this resolves and builds in the bottle over the coming years.

The Trenerry Single Vineyard Grenache 2021 is sourced from the Dam block on the vineyard owned by the Trenerry family in the Onkaparinga Hills sub-region of McLaren Vale.
Planted in 1970, the block consists of only four short rows of Grenache and presents a very unique style when compared to fruit grown on the other side of the Onkaparinga Gorge in the main McLaren Vale region.
Grenache is, and always has been, the varietal focus of Aphelion from McLaren Vale. Aphelion was founded in 2014 by Rob and Lou Mack with a dream to specialise in making aromatic, elegant Grenache. Now, Rob has fast gained a reputation as ‘Mr Grenache’ and is a highly respected member of the wine community and an esteemed wine judge.
We foster positive and energetic relationships with our growers, a handful in particular have been with us from the very beginning. This continuity is a thread that takes the radiance through every wine we make.
Farmers in McLaren Vale till our rich, ancient soils in environmentally sustainable ways to harvest world class produce.
McLaren Vale itself is incredibly diverse, boasting 19 different soil types and over 60% of its’ land being managed under our world leading Sustainable Winegrowing Australia program.
The varieties we’ve chosen thrive in our warm Mediterranean climate. They are what McLaren Vale is best-suited to: Grenache, Mataro, Nero d’Avola, Sagrantino.
Also Chenin Blanc; a white with a tendency to bring people together – gathering in polar palates from Sauvignon to Chardonnay.
Our growers are passionate about producing premium, hand tended grapes. We partner with only the most select, unique parcels of land and highly skilled growers who harness the sun and sky into pristine grapes.
Essential to create the premium quality of Aphelion Wine.

Thank you. Without you, we are cloudy skies.
Greek speakers will know that Aphelion means from the sun and this concept is central to our winemaking philosophy.
Our intentions are clear – to bottle sunshine.
And we mean it. Rob uses minimal intervention winemaking techniques, allowing the sun’s life sustaining force to shine out of the wines. Wines that are bright and fresh.
From our perspective, the ascendancy of our McLaren Vale wine brand Aphelion has been relatively meteoric. In the space of six short spins around the sun, we have turned our tiny, one-tonne project into our full time pursuit and one of the hottest brands on the market.
Aphelion is based in McLaren Vale.
Where in the world does the magic happen?
