Aphelion Callow Grenache Blanc 2025 from Aphelion Wine in McLaren Vale’s Kangarilla sub‑region is a thrilling, small‑batch, organic single‑vineyard Grenache Blanc that Rhône‑white lovers are going to absolutely fawn over. Certified Organic and Biodynamic fruit from the Yangarra vineyard is hand‑picked and whole bunch pressed, then treated to a mix of stainless steel and fine Austrian/French oak to nail both brightness and complexity.

This Callow Grenache Blanc 2025 is intensely aromatic, with citrus and spice leaping from the glass, layered over nashi pear and stone fruit. A fine, chalky textural edge and cinnamon–nutmeg spice give it serious food‑friendliness, finishing long, precise and refreshing at 13.2% ABV. Vegan‑friendly and handled with full‑lees aging and battonage until bottling, it has the muscle to cellar nicely for 5–8 years while still being outrageously drinkable now.

Food‑wise, Aphelion Callow Grenache Blanc 2025 is built for bouillabaisse, rich seafood stews, roast chook with preserved lemon and serious cheese boards featuring Comté. It’s a natural fit for Chenin Blanc drinkers chasing texture and spice, or anyone collecting limited‑release McLaren Vale whites – only 250 six‑packs exist, so it’s very much a “grab it now or miss out” proposition.
