Bottle Size 750ml
Case Size 6
Product Code 25996-750

The Syrah was hand-harvested from select parcels in the Wilson’s Pool vineyard and from 30-year-old vines in the Powderbark vineyard. Unlike the Grenache and Mourvèdre, the Syrah is trellised, and the vineyard is planted to various clones, including 470, Waldron and Jack Mann’s heritage mass-selection Syrah. The 2024 fermented with 22% whole bunches and spent 11 days on skins before pressing directly to 600-litre fine-grained demi-muids. The Syrah is the only wine in the Swinney-label line-up to see any new oak; just 8% was used in this vintage.

Reviews

“This is bold, grunty and svelte at once. To borrow a phrase: it’s Frankland River Grange. It’s pounded with tannin, dark berried, creamy to the touch and inflected with mint, bitumen, violets, iodine and red earth. As ‘much’ as it is on the palate, the follow through of the finish is exceptional. It was a dry old creek before blood and plums started charging through it. That’s the vibe here. Salt of the earth, as a drink. Aussie bush and Aussie berries, soft and extracted, dry and elongated.”
