Swinney Riesling 2022
Long, elegant and mouthwatering, it’s scented with lime juice, pear and red apple skin lifted by scents of fresh flowers. It’s piercingly intense, with a core of guava, lime and apple flavor underpinned by a fine chalkiness before finishing with a hint of sweetness and oyster shell.

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.
