Join us at the table as acclaimed Aphelion winemaker Rob Mack regales you with tales beyond the glass as you discover the nuance and delight of world-class Grenache. A delicious, fun, interactive way to celebrate International Grenache Day. 

12 people. 7 wines to swirl, sniff, savour. 1 winemaker. This is more than a masterclass. It’s a rare invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and connect—with the story inside your glass, and the people around it. Rob will guide you and just 11 other guests through 7 expressions of Grenache, including our Grenache Blanc, our flagship Rapture, and three distinct single-site wines from McLaren Vale. 


You'll explore the expressiveness and beauty of this noble variety—how it speaks differently through soil, season, and intention. When Rob opens each bottle for you, not just the aroma is set free. It’s seasons of labour, a patch of earth, and the imprint of time. Each vintage carries its own tale. And once poured, that story becomes part of yours. You’ll settle into thoughtful conversation with fellow Aphelion “scholars for the day”— hearing directly from Rob about the origins, inspiration, and future of each wine.
