Swinney Grenache 2023
$44.00Beautiful lifted fragrance of lavender, sarsaparilla, cola, sweet cherry, potpourri and blackberry. The finest and most ethereal release ever of this wine, yet utterly different from the pinot-esque examples emanating from McLaren Vale. Silky flow, framed by deft tannins; the sweet red summer fruits counter-pointed by savoury soy and autumn compost. Very long, drawn out […]

Swinney Grenache 2021
$42.00A higher level of refinement has crept into the 2021’s, compared to the sleek, puckering wines of 2020. Pretty aromatics of jubey red fruits, tangy hedge fruits and brooding black fruits. Pure, flecked with flowers, ironstone and spice. The fruits are very complex, light and dark, sweet and tangy. The shape and mouthfeel are gentler, […]

Swinney Syrah 2023
$44.00A feature of Swinney’s estate wines is their openness; they drink beautifully from the moment it’s in your glass. Floral, blue, black, red fruits, Chinese five spice and fresh compost notes. Medium bodied, but it feels richer, due to the plushness of the fruit, interwoven acid and beautifully shaping tannins of cashmere. As always, in […]

Swinney Franklands Cabernet Syrah 2020
$90.00Are blends better than single varietals? This Cabernet Syrah would certainly stoke the fires of debate, and I would have loved the opportunity to taste the unblended varietals. Very refined, in the claret vein, balanced poised, powerful and graceful. Stunning flavours of violets, plum, blackcurrant, raspberry, tobacco and cream. Terrific shape, across an even plane, […]

Swinney Riesling 2022
$32.00Out of Stock
Gosh, a real step up in intensity from the 2021. Very complex aromatics of salted citrus, lime peel, spring jasmine, grapefruit, orange blossom and spiced apple. Rich and concentrated, extremely powerful, super intense, salty, pithy, textural and precise. Compact and coiled in 2022, requiring a few years to unwind and flesh out. Promises to be […]

Swinney Mourvedre 2023
$44.00Savoury. That’s it. Well if I must say more, alongside the Farvie, this is Australia’s benchmark Mourvedre. Fragrant, savoury spice, blackcurrant, lavender, glace cherry, autumn leaves, cured meat, Provencal herbs and pink peppercorn. The firmest, most savoury and mineral of the estate wines. Medium bodied, with black olive, hedge fruits, seaweed, oyster shell and licorice. […]

Swinney Riesling 2024
$35.00Classic Swinney character, dialed up by the exceptional circumstances of the vintage. Yellow flower, mustard seed, tangy grapefruit, yellow peach, honey, cherry, bergamot and dried apricot. Rich, concentrated and full of dry extract, penetrating acidity and salty minerals. Round in shape, with terrific intensity and dense as far as Australian Riesling goes. A wine of […]

Swinney Mourvedre 2022
$42.00This is a variety that is finding a safe, comfortable home in Frankland River. Lovely perfumed red fruits on the nose displaying a slightly earthy, dusty raspberry and light plummy character. The palate is soft and supple. It’s medium weight with a fine chalky ironstone thing treading through the palate. The cradle of tannins […]
