Swinney Mourvèdre Rosé 1.5L MAGNUM 2022

Swinney Mourvèdre Rosé in 1.5-litre magnum is a dry, structured rosé from Frankland River bush vines.

A magnum is worth considering for a rosé this serious, since the larger format slows development and suits a wine built to hold for a few years. The fruit comes off dry-grown bush vines up on Powderbark's ironstone gravel crown, picked at 12.5 to 13 per cent potential alcohol, short of full maturity, to keep the acid taut. Pressing used a traditional ultra-light Champagne cycle, with a small proportion of bush-vine Grenache and a splash of Vermentino folded in for complexity and freshness. Three months on lees in neutral French oak followed. This was the inaugural release of the wine.

Dry and gently savoury, with strawberry, rosewater, citrus and a mineral finish that runs long. Serve at 9 to 10 degrees. A magnum is a table wine for a crowd: roast chicken, a seafood platter, or a long lunch of charcuterie and salads.
