Swinney Grenache 2025

Matt Swinney's affection for the Southern Rhône and Priorat led him to plant bush-vine Grenache on the estate's ironstone hilltops back in the 1990s, when the variety was virtually unknown in the region and the decision raised more than a few eyebrows. Erin Larkin has called it "a tremendously important wine not only in the context of this vineyard but of the Great Southern Region and, indeed, on a national level, for Australia," while Max Allen has written that it "tastes like no other Australian example of this variety and will change perceptions of the Frankland region."
