Personalised Aphelion Welkin Falanghina 2025 13% 750ml

TASTING NOTES

APPEARANCE

Pale straw in colour.

AROMA

Aromas of tropical fruit, crisp rockmelon, and nashi pear jump from the glass along with ripe stone fruit.

PALATE

Clean and pure on the palate with bountiful fruit and floral characters. Flavour length is provided by crisp acidity and a light textural element thanks to the wine’s time spent fermenting in 950L concrete egg and seasoned French oak barriques.

WINEMAKERS COMMENTS

Falanghina originates from Campania, Italy (the same region famous for Fiano). Luscious fruit and piercing natural acidity combine to form a wine of concentration and poise. The variety is late ripening and loves moderate to warm Mediterranean climates meaning it has a natural home in McLaren Vale.

FOOD MATCHING

Seafood is a natural match for this wine – think fresh Marron with a light garlic and herb butter sauce.

Reviews:

Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion - 93 Pts

Whole-bunch pressed, then fermentated in a combination of 950L concrete eggs (55%) and older French oak barriques (45%), with a short élevage before bottling in May. A new addition to the Welkin range, and a promising one. It’s sunny and racy all at once, with corella pear, citron, crisp golden apple, fennel and a little saltiness. Flavour packed, refreshingly crisp, faintly chewy and textured for food, this is good stuff.
