Tasting Note

Vibrant magenta with purple hues. A distinct ferrous character on the nose, with Szechuan pepper, brambly wild red and black fruits with a subtle violet lift. The palate is medium bodied with characteristic plums, spice and iron filings. Beautiful poise with lithe tannins and a fine boned structural finish.

Product Notes

Swinney Frankland River Mourvèdre is a ruby-red Australian wine of exceptional quality. It stems from an esteemed vineyard, nestled in the Frankland River region of Western Australia. This wine boasts an enchanting bouquet of ripe cherries, herbs and peppery spice, underlined by a hint of chocolatey earthiness. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, offering a spectrum of raspberry and blackberry flavours, perfectly poised between fruitiness and spicy complexity. Tannins are well-embedded, accenting crisp acidity that ensures a long, satisfying finish. This Mourvèdre is a brilliant accompaniment to hearty meat dishes, delivering depth and elegance in every sip.
