This dazzling riff on Frankland River Riesling is drawn from hand-selected fruit from two of Swinney’s oldest blocks. Vibrant kumquat and mandarin orange aromas with a touch of basil. Sleek, crisp and focused with tons of stony energy driving the long, precise finish.

“Deep red-purple with a meaty reductive note overlying spices and black cherry to blueberry aromas, the palate supple and smoothly fleshy, medium to full bodied and elegantly styled, very approachable now and with good potential for aging. This is a ripping shiraz, nearly as good as the 2020 Farvie.” 95 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review

"Very deep bright purple-red hue; the bouquet spicy, rusty iron, as well as chocolate-coated cherries, medium-full bodied and firm with a good solid backbone of tannin, and an earthy peppery, graphite kind of mineral note, savoury and concentrated, powerful and penetrating through a long palate. Superb, and it has potential to improve further with time." 95 pts Huon Hooke, www.therealreview.com, October 22

This Grenache is finely structured and will age beautifully, yet the overall balance, waves of fruit purity and savoury complexity mean this wine is a delight from the get-go.

Swinney Frankland River Syrah The fruit is hand-picked from 21-year old Syrah vines and sorted by hand. It is then crushed into small open-top fermenters. Around 5% whole bunch is used with wild fermentation to build structure and texture and provide the framework on which to express the opulence and spice of Syrah. The wine spent two weeks on skins prior to pressing directly to fine-grained large format French oak (40% new). The wine is aged for 14 months prior to bottling and made with minimum effective sulphites, it is not fined and only minimally filtered. Shop Swinney
