2021 Swinney Grenache
Huon Hooke, The Real Review - Bright red-purple colour; fresh bright pepper and cherry aromas, the palate likewise bright and crisp, taut and firm with a good backbone of tannin. Quite concentrated and slightly sappy to finish. It's already delicious drinking.
Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front - this is so deliciously peppery. Black pepper, Texas tea, raspberry and black cherry with graphite, clove and mineral-like notes threaded through. It’s medium weight but there are plenty of bass notes, if that makes sense. It has a meaty darkness in among the brightness of the spice. It’s tight, dry and grapey through the finish; everything here suggests quality. Indeed this is a pretty special grenache.

"There is no question that this vineyard and the style being crafted under one of Australia's finest winemakers, Rob Mann, have redefined Syrah and Grenache. These are now the established benchmarks and should be on the buy-now list for anyone with an interest in contemporary Australian wine" - Ray Jordan, The West Australian
"I love the clarity and the bloodiness of the wine in this vintage. The tannins are infused throughout the fruit in this 2021 Grenache... It has concentration, tension and pliability—there’s cherry, pomegranate, blood, ironstone, gravel, minerals and spice." - Erin Larkin
