2024 Swinney Riesling
NEW RELEASE
Winemaker's Notes:
"The nose is perfectly ripe with an intense combination of lemon pith, jasmine blossom, nectarine and green tea. Medium bodied on the palate, the wine carries a density of citrus fruit with touches of white peach and honeysuckle. Fine-boned. with a spine of pithy acidity, the wine is defined by its characteristic briny dry finish."
Reviews for the 2023 Riesling

"This drinks like a charm, it’s moreish, so positive it puts a smile on your face. A beam of sunlight, a cool drink in hand on a hot day. Melting in the mouth with a minty aftertaste and it’s feather-light too. It’s more than a sum of aromas and flavours, it’s liquid energy! Fantastic stuff." 96 pts

"Swinney Vineyard is a powerhouse of fine wine releases – no slouch from its 2023 Riesling here. While compact and racy, there's a distinct savoury element, salted cashew or similar, set under the frisky lime and green apple crunch of fruit flavours. Great stuff, complexity writ large. Perfume is pretty, floral, but distinctly gingery and lemony, too. Among everything is a fine powderiness to the texture with a crackling, long, refreshing, acid-driven finish. Seamless all up, and drinkability is wicked. Dive in in its inimitable youth." 95 pts

"The new vintage of Swinney’s dynamic Riesling is the best yet. Vital, lime-juice-soaked and pumice stone-dry, this sensational wine is drinking like a dream!"
