Aphelion Wine

Our wines are delicious. They’re perfect with food. They’re handcrafted for people just like us, like you. We’re here to make the best wines possible for you to enjoy in life’s best moments. We let our wines speak for themselves, the growers who tend the vines, and of the stunning lands they are from here in McLaren Aphelion Wine concentrate on grape varieties that thrive in the Mediterranean climate of McLaren Vale, with a sprinkling of the best of surrounding regions, like the cooler Adelaide Hills. We craft our wines to match the foods we love to eat - Italian, Mediterranean, and Asian. Think tomato, ginger, garlic, chilli, seafood. McLaren Vale wine region is diverse, with 19 different soil types. It is sustainable, with more than 60% of vineyards certified by the locally developed Sustainable Australia Winegrowing program. Varieties from Italy, Greece and Spain do very well here as they suit our changing climate, what we put on our dinner tables, and what we order when we eat out. It starts with the sun and the earth. Our carefully selected, passionate grape growers in McLaren Vale hand tend the most select, unique parcels of land in environmentally sustainable ways to produce world class grapes to harvest at their pinnacle. From the vineyard, to the winery. The next stage in the journey from grape to your glass, next to your plate. Wineries are big expensive things to set up. Being a new micro-batch wine label, for the time being we lease the use of wineries to undertake our winemaking. The magic, once the place and equipment are sorted, is in the winemakers hands. Much like Michelin starred chefs, it is half science and half art. Our aim in the winery is to handcraft minimal intervention authentic, quality McLaren Vale wines that speak of their provenance and match perfectly with the food you love.
