That Swinney’s Syrah has been described by one writer as “more Hermitage than Grange” gives you a clue where the style and quality level is pitched. Already a WA benchmark, the Syrah is hand-harvested from select parcels in the Wilsons Pool vineyard and from 30-year-old vines in the Powderbark vineyard. Unlike the Grenache and Mourvèdre, the Syrah is trellised.

“The colour is striking—deep red and almost opaque in parts. This wine comes from the Wilson's Pool and Powderbark Vineyards from vertically trellised Syrah vines. The combination of Massale selection Syrah and the more recently added clones 470 and 171 has introduced new characters and complexity to what was already an impressive wine. Whole bunches and wild fermentation bring texture and structure, complemented by spice that sits comfortably with the plush, darker fruit. The oak–fruit balance is superb, with fine-grained large-format French oak (just 8% new) and time on yeast lees completing the wine in a polished way.”  - 95 points - Ray Jordan, September 2025
