Story
Hark! The 2018 Apostle heralds change, and that change is Mclaren Vale leaning away from Shiraz as it's poster child.
You heard it here first. Our 2018 Apostle remains a blend, however, we see Grenache and Carignan ascend to soften and enhance the final result, creating a blend that's punchy, approachable and delicious.
Each variety was vinified separately, aged separately then blended prior to bottling, as the blend revealed itself to us as the most beautiful expression of these wines from the cellar.
Dark fruits, heaps of spice and a rustic mouthfeel, the Apostle delivers everything Mclaren Vale; past, present and future.
