Swinney Mourvèdre Rosé 2024, from dry-grown bush vines on the ironstone gravel hilltop of the Powderbark vineyard in Frankland River, is a pale, sleek rosé blended with a hint of Vermentino and Cinsault, co-fermented naturally and aged in old oak. It shows a vibrant bouquet of rose petals, spices, florals, and pink grapefruit, with a palate that is textural, savoury, and juicy, featuring tart sour cherry, cranberry tang, fine rosehip tea notes, elegant tannins, and innate freshness. This rosé combines drinkability with complexity, making it a serious and refined pink wine, scoring 94 points from Mike Bennie at Wine Companion.
