Swinney Mourvèdre 2024

Dry grown vines from the Estate’s Wilson’s Pool Vineyard provide the fruit for what has become one of the country’s best Mourvèdre. Made with wild yeasts, 18% whole bunches and eleven months in large format, older French oak. Vibrant purple in colour, there are notes of warm earth, mulberries, cocoa powder, dry herbs and delicatessen meats. A slightly fleshy style, the wine offers concentration and power, with juicy acidity. It has serious length, finishing with fine powdery tannins. There is so much promise here, a wine which will provide pleasure for at least the next ten years.
