Aphelion's Rapture.
Our world class Grenache. Produced right here in McLaren Vale.
The pinnacle of Aphelion's Grenache-focused winemaking.
2022 was an outstanding vintage so a thrilling release.
Extremely limited production.
An ultra-rare re-release of our personal museum stock of the Rapture 2022. The 2023 sold through too fast! Snap up this outstanding wine, which is drinking beautifully in May 2026.
Tasting Note:
A vibrant purple hue in the glass. Brooding but fleshy aromatics are laced with an herbal spice note. Tannins are prominent but don’t dominate – cherry pip flavours wash over the mid palate. A savoury finish with an immense length and persistence. This wine will blossom with some bottle age.
Goes With Food: Perfect with duck rillettes and crunchy sourdough bread.
Goes With Cheese: An intense washed rind cheese such as Epoisses will match the intensity and savoury aspect of this Grenache well.
Goes With Music: Soundgarden – Black Hole Sun
Goes With Life: When you’re looking to impress at a wine dinner you won’t
go wrong pulling this out.

It has depth and gravitas (a la the Hickinbotham), blood and finesse (a la the Brini) and is succulent and red (a la the Wait), and it pulls it all together like a hand-bound book. The spine and the stitchwork are there for all to see, but the pages fit together in the most satisfying of ways. The pages are filled with fruit-driven prose, and it closes with a flourish of tannin. It is poetic in its way. - Erin Larkin for Robert Parker Wine Advocate
