Swinney Farvie Grenache 2024
$165.00
An astonishing wine that needs time to deliver its very best, this is made from bush vines in Frankland River of around 30 years of age. A profoundly deep, heady perfume of rose petals, red and black cherries, blood plums and cranberries is backed by five spice, cinnamon and a whiff of licorice. Opening out to deliver a plush round palate entirely saturated with flavour but not primary, confection-like fruit, it unfolds layers of fruit that extend down a crunchy spine towards a mouthwateringly fresh and lively finish. Flaunting its style and balance, it easily soaks up oak leaves a lingering presence of red cherries, cranberries and licorice, wrapped in refreshing acids and finishing fresh and savoury.

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.
