Swinney Riesling 2025, from Swinney Wines in Western Australia’s Frankland River, emerges from hand-picked bunches in the Powderbark vineyard where ironstone gravel soils craft legendary linear precision – a highlight vintage showcasing Rhys Thomas’s obsessive quest for purity. Subtle lemon pith minerality leaps with distinctive Great Southern spiciness, fresh lime leaf and wet stone grip that pull you into intense fruit drama on the nose. On the palate, the Swinney Riesling 2025 delivers lovely texture, juicy citrus core, gentle yet sustained acidity and chalky dry finish – mouth-watering vibrancy at modest alcohol from whole-bunch pressed wild ferment on lees.​

This scintillating Frankland River benchmark thrills now with cellaring poise through the decade. Pair with WA rock lobster, kingfish ceviche or goat’s curd crostini to ignite its saline citrus thrill – bag this pristine star before your cellar overflows with envy.​
