Swinney Riesling 2026

Swinney Riesling is a dry Riesling fermented in neutral vessels and rested on lees.

Farming comes first here: organic, dry-farmed blocks, cane-pruned, rows oriented north to south, with shade cloth over the Riesling to shield the bunches from excessive sun and the roasted flavours that follow. In the cellar Rob Mann looks for structure and texture. Fruit from two of the oldest Powderbark blocks is whole-bunch pressed, lightly settled and fermented naturally in neutral vessels, an approach designed to let Frankland River Riesling speak plainly. Three months on lees follow, building texture while keeping the wine fresh ahead of bottling. Austerity is not the goal; aroma, texture and flavour complexity are.

Pure and precise, with lime blossom, green apple and a saline, chalky finish, the acid fine and long. Serve at 9 to 10 degrees. Try it with oysters, tempura prawns or a chicken and herb salad.
