Frankland River Mourvdre Ros 2023, Swinney


Swinney
Pale salmon colour. Fresh strawberry and rose water notes combine with some subtle complexity including Mourvdre's signature Szechuan pepper character, oyster shell and beeswax. A textural, full-flavoured yet finely-balanced ros, with rhubarb and pomegranate on the palate, combined with satisfying creaminess. It has refreshing pithy acidity and a bone dry, briny finish. Mourvdre from dry-grown bush vines on the rich gravelly-loam soils of the Swinney Wilsons Pool vineyard. Careful canopy management, fruit thinning and selective hand-harvesting over multiple passes are employed to ensure as close to perfect fruit as possible. A small percentage of Grenache and Vermentino are included for subtle complexity, and the fruit was whole-bunch pressed, filled directly to seasoned French oak barriques and then naturally fermented. The wine rested on its lees for three months to preserve freshness and develop texture.
