“Winemaker Rob Mann, since his return from Newton Vineyards in the Napa Valley in 2018, has ushered in a new era of success for the vineyard, with his experience, his seemingly irrepressible ability to coax perfectly ripe, ductile tannins from the vineyard and his unwavering belief that great wine is made in the vineyard.” Erin Larkin, Robert Parker's 'The Wine Advocate'
“There is a very bright future for Matt [Swinney] and Rob [Mann], and I have a feeling that these wines will gain a cult following in the UK just as they have in Australia, where many of these wines are sold on allocation only.” Matthew Jukes
“Swinney is the complete package.” Max Allen
“One of Australia’s finest versions of the [Grenache] variety, born of excellent farming and a unique place.” Mike Bennie
"It's pretty obvious that riesling in 2025 has emerged as a highlight variety. This one is an excellent example of the season. The aromas show a subtle lemon pith minerality with some quite distinctive spiciness, which you sometimes get in the Great Southern. The palate offers intense fruit with a lovely texture while still retaining that fine linear structure sustained by a gentle acidity. Excellent for current drinking, but with some cellaring if you wish." 94 pts

NEW RELEASE
2024 Swinney Mourvèdre Rosé Review:
"Produced from estate-grown, bush vine mourvèdre. A fine, sleek rosé with tension and elegant tannin profile, innate freshness, a tart report of pleasing, sour cherry, cranberry tang and some fine rosehip tea characters. Succulent and refreshing, lighter weight but with good tension and structure. A serious pink wine on hand." 94 pts

“A delightfully fragrant, light to medium-bodied grenache from bush vines on the Wilson's Pool Vineyard... The wine was barrel-sorted and gravity-fed into small wooden and stainless steel fermenters, with a higher percentage of whole bunch added during wild fermentation to build structure. Aromas of high-toned red fruit, rose petals and a slight earthiness flow through to a bright, seamlessly integrated palate that extends to a long finish. ” 94 points

“This comes from dry-grown bush vines, was wild fermented, and spent eleven days on skins; matured in used, large-format oak barrels. Violet floral lift, scents of game meat, a good dose of cinnamon, garam masala, dried cranberry, dark cherry and cola. The palate is similarly set up – chewy and dusty with slender tannins, a core of dark fruit and woody spice, game meat finishes and is accompanied by herbs (fresh, dried and cool). It's a finely tuned expression, pure and fine boned, detailed with fruit, spice and savoury elements. Fantastic drinking.” 95 points

“The colour is striking—deep red and almost opaque in parts. This wine comes from the Wilson's Pool and Powderbark Vineyards from vertically trellised syrah vines. The combination of Massale selection syrah and the more recently added clones 470 and 171 has introduced new characters and complexity to what was already an impressive wine. Whole bunches and wild fermentation bring texture and structure, complemented by spice that sits comfortably with the plush, darker fruit. The oak–fruit balance is superb, with fine-grained large-format French oak (just 8% new) and time on yeast lees completing the wine in a polished way.” 95 points
