Description

As said by winemaker Rob Mann: "There’s something of Swinney here that no one can replicate". It's rare to find a Mourvèdre of this purity and distinction from Australian shores. Drawn from dry-grown bush vines planted in the early 2000s on the rich, gravelly-loam soils of the Wilsons Pool Vineyard.

This comes from dry-grown bush vines, was wild fermented, and spent eleven days on skins; matured in used, large-format oak barrels. Violet floral lift, scents of game meat, a good dose of cinnamon, garam masala, dried cranberry, dark cherry and cola. The palate is similarly set up – chewy and dusty with slender tannins, a core of dark fruit and woody spice, game meat finishes and is accompanied by herbs (fresh, dried and cool). It's a finely tuned expression, pure and fine boned, detailed with fruit, spice and savoury elements. Fantastic drinking." - 95 points - Mike Bennie, September 2025
