Swinney Frankland River Grenache 2024
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
“A delightfully fragrant, light to medium-bodied grenache from bush vines on the Wilson's Pool Vineyard. The season was challenging, requiring significant fruit to be dropped and careful hand harvesting to ensure only the best grapes were used. The wine was barrel-sorted and gravity-fed into small wooden and stainless steel fermenters, with a higher percentage of whole bunch added during wild fermentation to build structure. Aromas of high-toned red fruit, rose petals and a slight earthiness flow through to a bright, seamlessly integrated palate that extends to a long finish.” 94pts | Ray Jordan
