Crafted by Rob Mann with around 40% whole-bunch fermentation and maturation in large-format seasoned French oak, the wine captures both the natural perfume of Grenache and the mineral intensity of the Frankland River landscape. The warm 2024 vintage delivered exceptional fruit ripeness while still retaining unusually high natural acidity, resulting in a wine of both generosity and freshness. The nose is intensely aromatic and finely detailed, revealing raspberry, red cherry and cranberry layered with dried rose petal, blood orange and white pepper spice. There are deeper savoury nuances of ironstone, sweet tobacco, cola and wild herbs, with whole-bunch fermentation adding floral lift and structural complexity. The aromatic profile is vivid and energetic, sitting firmly in the red-fruited spectrum while carrying an earthy, mineral undertone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky yet finely grained tannins and vibrant acidity that gives the wine exceptional drive and precision.

There are complex notes of white pepper, incense spice, tobacco leaf and dried herbs, with floral lift and savoury detail woven seamlessly through the fruit.

Sourced from the most ironstone-rich and gravelly section of the dry-grown bush-vine Wilson’s Pool Vineyard, the wine is meticulously hand-selected over multiple vineyard passes before being crafted by Rob Mann with around 60% whole-bunch fermentation and maturation in large-format seasoned French oak. The result is a Grenache of extraordinary perfume, structure and mineral intensity that sits comfortably among the world’s great examples of the variety. The nose is intensely aromatic and hauntingly layered, revealing wild raspberry, sour cherry, blood plum and cranberry alongside dried rose petals, blood orange and exotic spice. There are deeper savoury nuances of ironstone, wet slate, truffle, leather and fresh earth, with a distinct ferrous minerality that has become the signature of Swinney’s Frankland River wines. Whole-bunch fermentation contributes lifted herbal freshness and floral complexity, while the fruit remains pristine and crystalline throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it is medium-bodied yet remarkably powerful, with silky but tightly wound tannins and vibrant natural acidity that give the wine immense tension and drive.

Compared to warmer-climate Australian Grenache styles, the Farvie is far more savoury, structural and ironstone-driven, emphasizing purity, energy and detail over plushness. The 2024 vintage carries slightly more muscle and fruit weight than the ethereal 2023, yet still retains exceptional poise and finesse.

Stylistically, it sits somewhere between Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Priorat and a uniquely Australian ironstone-driven interpretation of Grenache.
