[SOLD-OUT] Swinney Mourvedre Rose 2023

 

“Perhaps it was inevitable that a stunning rosé would emanate from the celestial Mourvèdre vines at the Swinney vineyards in Frankland River. Well, this is it – and it is nothing short of breathtaking. I have never tasted a finer Australian rosé, and it is all the more gripping that it is not made from Grenache.” - Matthew Jukes, The Buyer

 

"The 2023 Mourvèdre Rosé is floral and spicy, lightly pink in the glass, voluminous in the mouth in its way and fresh. A textural rosé (thank goodness) with pomegranate, black tea, jasmine, red apples, chalk and brine, with a nice little ferruginous flick through the finish." - Wine Advocate

 

"The palate has massive intensity of fruit flavour – watermelon, wild strawberry tip, a bit of dried thyme, salty toasted sourdough, macerated just-ripe strawberries, cranberries, wild oats and Moroccan spice box, with lacy acidity pulling through the fruit intensity. Savoury characters and fruit notes walk the line well. Finely layered texture, plenty of fruit phenolics, and some grippier and slightly grainier oak tannins. The oak offers a little toastiness and slight vanilla fringing. An equilibrium of fruit, acid, structure and weight has produced a serious rosé with length and complexity." - Decanter

 

"On the notes - fresh fruit characters of strawberry and rose water combine with subtle complexity, including beeswax, Szechuan pepper and oyster shell. Textural and full-flavoured on the palate, yet finely balanced with a mix of rhubarb and pomegranate combined with fresh curd.  The finish is soft with refreshing pithy acidity and a bone-dry, briny finish." - Swinney
