Aphelion is a husband-and-wife project from Rob and Louise Mack. Rob studied Wine Science at university before gaining experience at Kilikanoon in the Clare Valley. The idea of Aphelion was born over a bottle of Barolo between himself and future wife Louise, and they haven’t looked back. Today, Rob is genuinely considered to be in the top handful of Australian winemakers, especially when it comes to Grenache. His single site Grenache wines are amongst the country’s best and are today turning heads internationally.

Aphelion means ‘from the sun’ and this concept is central to the Aphelion winemaking philosophy. Rob uses minimal intervention wine making techniques, allowing the sun’s life sustaining force to shine out of the wines. Wines that are bright and fresh and alive.
