Swinney Frankland River Grenache 2023
Wines taste best when shared with friends!
I wonder how many bush vine planted vineyards exist in WA? Most unusual but no doubt a contributing factor to this rapidly emerging premium grenache. Indeed probably one of the most exciting of the variety to hit the marketplace in recent years.
***** Outstanding Winery, James Halliday, 2021 Australian Wine Companion
“Swinney is flying.” Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
“The first results of [the] collaboration are fantastic: the grenache, in particular, tastes like no other Australian example of this variety and will change perceptions of the Frankland region...” Max Allen, Australian Financial Review
"Outstanding grenache has been the calling card of Swinney, drawing gaze to their wonderful vineyard in Frankland River and rewriting the code with their medium-bodied, perfumed and succulent styling. We see a continuity of quality with this wine, with all the rosy perfume, floral lift, quiet meatiness and exotic spice, the concentrated but silky drawl of red and black cherry fruitiness and a swish of incredibly pure, fine, elegant ribbons of fine, granular tannin. With all this, an urgency to gulp – the wine, again, a high water mark for elegant reds of Australia." 96pts | Mike Bennie | Best Grenache Halliday Wine Awards 2026
