Swinney Mourvèdre 2022
$45.00
Heady, meaty and powerfully aromatic, it’s laced with blackberries, Morello cherries and cedar/chocolate oak, lifted by exotic scents of eastern spice and blue flowers and backed by musky, meaty notes. Medium to fullish in weight, with a fine, gravelly backbone neath its powerful expression of dark berry/cherry fruit, it’s artfully knit with oak, extending stylishly towards a savoury finish. It’s an outstanding wine that becomes firmer and more granular with time in the glass, suggesting it will build considerably with bottle-age.

Winery
Swinney
Matt Swinney heads a family-owned and operated vineyard of 220 ha that largely sells its fruit to a large number of Western Australian producers. The Swinney label is reserved for small runs of distinctively different fruit, including dry-grown bush-vine grenache and mourvèdre which are turned into wine by Robert Mann, one of WA's leading makers. The vineyard's ironstone gravel soils produce remarkable flavours, ferrous minerality and perfume which help stand the Swinney wines apart from others in the region. Aside from its excellent Riesling, the Swinney label features a collection of red wines from several Rhone varieties, plus the occasional Mencia. The flagship Farvie wines are a selection from the best portions of the vineyard and have quickly emerged as some of the finest releases yet from Western Australia.
