"Swinney is in the process of making a very powerful statement about the Frankland River region via the delivery of these world class wines."
Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, 2023

George John Alexander Swinney, affectionately known as Farvie, and his family settled at ‘Franklands’ in 1922. Today, George’s great grand-children, siblings Matt and Janelle, continue his legacy through their vineyards and wine label.
The Farvie wines, first released in March 2020 from the 2018 vintage, represent the highest quality expression of our family’s best vineyard sites. Our ambition is the creation of wines that sit alongside the best in the world for their variety while evoking a beautiful and singular image of our family home in Frankland River.
The wines are the result of a vineyard–focused philosophy of meticulous attention to site selection and precise grape growing practices. These include dry growing, organic farming principles, intensive shoot and fruit thinning, and careful, deliberate bunch selection from fruit growing either on the morning side of the canopy or protected by shade cloth.
Our 2024 vintage celebrates our seventh vintage of Farvie.
Production of each Farvie wine is limited to just a few hundred cases per year.
