Swinney has become regarded by many as the finest Syrah vineyard in Western Australia, with one writer describing the Syrah as "more Hermitage than Grange." It's hand-harvested from Wilsons Pool and 30-year-old Powderbark vines, planted to a mix of clones including Jack Mann's own heritage selection. Shade cloth shields the fruit from harsh afternoon sun, preserving freshness and spice, while gravity flow avoids pumping, maximising whole berries. The result is a wine of real structural complexity, built through careful farming and gentle handling in the cellar.

Reviews

"The boldest and richest of the Rhône triumvirate of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre. The colour is a deep inky red. The nose is an intense and engaging spicy plum and dark chocolate combination, and the palate is both structured and supple, with a fine thread of mineral, ironstone tannins, some well-weighted, understated oak and stacks of plush, lush fruit. Scrumptious, delicious wine."

"This delivers on the promise of the Syrah moniker. It opens with gamey notes and Italianate herbal whiffs, dark cherry, woody spices and a hint of white pepper. The medium-weight palate is inky, quite rich yet lively, with more game meat, forest berries, a liberal dusting of white pepper, and truffle notes chiming in too. There's a building grip of fine yet succulent tannin, a graphite note amongst that. Add this all up, and you've a very fine expression of Syrah, unapologetically savoury and tannin-hewn, which is great, really. "
