Frankland River Syrah
Swinney
Press Review
" 2020 Swinney Grenache and 2020 Swinney Syrah are exemplary versions of cool climate, mineral-soaked, expertly grown and made wines. Vineyard magnate Matt Swinney and winemaking savant Rob Mann were in London recently to show these wines to the cognoscenti, and we were all blown away. "Matthew Jukes, Money Week, 10th June 2022
Winemaking
The fruit was hand-picked from 21-year old Syrah vines on the Frankland River vineyard, sorted by hand and crushed into small open top fermenters. 5% whole bunches and wild fermentation are incorporated to build structure and texture, and provide the framework on which to express the opulence and spice of Syrah. The wine spent two weeks on skins prior to pressing directly to fine grained large format French oak (40% new). It was aged for 14 months prior to bottling. The wine was made with minimum effective sulphites and only minimally filtered.
Our Expert Food Recommendation
The list can become endless with matching wonderly balenced dishes with Syrah. One dish that always works well is Beef Brasato with Pappardelle, a dish that works well with either braised Beef or Oxtail.
