Tasting Notes
Profoundly aromatic, with layers of complexity that evolve over time in the glass. Initially dark fruited with subtle spice, the wine opens to exhibit perfumed red cherries, rhubarb, violets and salted liquorice. There is a beautiful clarity of fruit flavours including strawberry cream, iodine and plum skins. The wine reveals a palate of fine detail and typical ferrous minerality - beautifully elegant but with great depth and penetration. - Winery Note
This is the second release of the Farvie wines from Swinney, following their incredible debut last year. They are as exciting as they are rare, representing the pinnacle of Grenache and Syrah from the Frankland River region.
From carefully tended bush vines, each bunch of fruit is hand-selected with several successive passes through the vineyard. In this way, only the most optimum fruit is chosen to produce the Farvie wines. Shade cloths are utilised in the vineyards too, to protect the fruit from the harshest sun, and aiding in fruit uniformity. The idea that great wines are made in the vineyard has been fully embraced by Rob Mann and the Swinney team, with these exacting standards utilised to ensure the premium nature of the fruit.
