Owner Matt Swinney and winemaker Rob Mann's ambition here is to produce a Bandol-inspired Mourvèdre that displays the variety's splendid qualities. This has fabulous, deep richness lent grace by a lovely, lilting spice and floral lift. The palate has substance and texture, with layers of silky tannins, and yet a cleansing sense of lightness, delicacy and pin-point precision. A wine of entrancing contrast, complexity and fidelity to its vineyard origins, the oak influence subtly fills out the corners without dominating its personality. You can enjoy this immediately (decanting recommended), or it will age gracefully for many years.

Press Review
The second iteration of this wine (tasted pre-release), which is quickly rising to icon status in Swinney’s portfolio. Tiny production from bushvines, the fruit is harvested in three passes wild fermented in whole bunches and matured in old oak. Currently tightly wound and holding its cards close to its chest, its starry journey ahead is clear. Vibrant, densely knit dark black plum aromas with a jewel-like clarity, along with violets, star anise, eucalypt, heady ferrous notes and crushed earth. Tannins might be tight and bunched up in their youth, but they are chalky and fine in structure, and the long line of delicate acidity helps deliver waves of flavour long after the last sip. Complex, vivacious and nuanced; a new Mourvèdre benchmark has been set. Drinking window: 2023-2036
