Swinney Mourvédre 2024

Hand picked and meticulously sorted with 22% whole-bunch that makes for a distinctively ferrous and wild spice structure. Matured in French oak for 11 months.

Critics thoughts - “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, www.winecompanion.com.au
