Two wines. Two perspectives on Grenache Blanc. This is what makes the collection so much fun. You'll taste two distinctive interpretations of Grenache Blanc from McLaren Vale, made by two small Australian wineries with a singular fascination for Grenache. Walking with Kings brings together Roussanne and Grenache Blanc, pairing the creamy, aromatic texture of Roussanne with the crisp green apple and citrus character of Grenache Blanc. Callow takes a different path: a single-variety Grenache Blanc from Yangarra Vineyard in Kangarilla, with bright acidity, spice, stone fruit and a fine, textural finish. Two vineyards and approaches. Two winemaking personalities. Six bottles to taste side by side. And a delicious opportunity to discover just how expressive Grenache Blanc can be. Taste them both. Two wineries. One obsession. We're both small, independent Australian wine producers with an unusually deep fascination with Grenache. At Aphelion, Grenache is at the heart of what we do. We're interested in old vines, remarkable sites and wines that express where they come from rather than simply conforming to a style. Thistledown share that obsession, championing Grenache from some of South Australia's most distinctive vineyards and exploring the variety across different sites, styles and expressions. Put the two together and you get a fascinating snapshot of what McLaren Vale white wine can be — from a Rhône-inspired Roussanne and Grenache Blanc blend to a pure, site-driven Grenache Blanc. Why these two wines? Grenache Blanc doesn't always get the attention its red-skinned sibling receives. We think that's a shame. It's capable of producing wines that are fresh without being simple, textured without being heavy, and aromatic without losing precision. Walking with Kings and Callow show two sides of that versatility. One brings Roussanne into the conversation. The other lets Grenache Blanc take centre stage. Both belong on the table. A $321 collection for $300 The six wines have a combined RRP of $321. For this very limited collaboration, we're offering the six-bottle collection for: $300 Save $21 on the combined RRP. And once these packs are gone, they're gone. The perfect excuse to open six bottles This is a pack for the table. For lunch with friends. For a long afternoon that turns into dinner. For the wine lover who likes discovering something a little different. Pour one. Pour the other. Taste them side by side. Then open another. There's plenty to discover.
