2025 Swinney Riesling

NEW RELEASE

Reviews of the 2024 Riesling:
Campbell Mattinson, www.winefront.com.au
"It’s hard to go past intensity of fruit flavour in a young riesling, and this Swinney 2024 has plenty of it. Lemon, salt, lime leaf and wet stone characters put on a pretty dramatic – not to mention classy – display, the finish then chalky, textural and dry. There’s a tonic water aspect to this. And plenty of mouth perfume. And something of a meaty savouriness. And yet all the while the fruit feels pristine, and concentrated. It’s a cracking example of Frankland River riesling, at its best. It’s a wine of both joy, and quality." 95 pts

Ken Gargett, www.winepilot.com
"Deep lemon in colour, the nose suggests a wine of balance and intensity. There are notes of grapefruit, indeed a range of citrus, riverstones, figs, stonefruits and a minerally backing. Fine oystershell acidity runs the length. The wine has a clean and crisp texture with focus and drive and very good length. The finish offers a touch of that wonderful regional characteristic, honeysuckle. Enjoy this over the next six to eight years. A superb Riesling. " 94 pts

Wine Profile

Tasting Notes

Striking pale straw with green hues Wonderfully vibrant and expressive combining citrus blossom, lime pith, oyster shells and a hint of green tea. Medium bodied with full flavour, great texture and lively natural acidity. A pure core of lime wedges, agave and ginger with a distinctive briny, mineral driven palate leading to a fine, long and refreshing. finish.

Vineyard Notes

Fruit is hand-picked from blocks C and D of our Swinney Powderbark vineyard. Canopy management, the use of shade cloth on the afternoon sun side of the vines, and careful bunch selection allows us to eliminate any bunches with excessive sun exposure.

Production Notes

The fruit was whole bunch pressed, lightly settled and then naturally fermented in neutral vessels to achieve a vibrant and expressive reflection of the purity of Frankland River Riesling. Following fermentation, the wine rested on its lees to both preserve freshness and build texture prior to bottling.
