{"product_id":"2022-swinney-farvie-grenache","title":"2022 Swinney Farvie Grenache","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 Swinney Farvie Grenache is one of the great modern Australian Grenaches — a flagship wine that has helped redefine what the variety can achieve in Australia. Sourced from the most mineral and ironstone-rich section of the dry-grown bush-vine Grenache block at Wilson’s Pool Vineyard in Frankland River, Western Australia, the wine is crafted from painstakingly selected fruit harvested over multiple passes. Winemaker Rob Mann ferments the wine with around 28% whole bunches before maturation in French oak, creating a Grenache of extraordinary perfume, structure and finesse. The nose is intensely aromatic and deeply layered, revealing wild raspberry, pomegranate and red plum alongside graphite, crushed shells, iodine and rust-like ferrous minerality. 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. The aromatic profile is simultaneously ethereal and powerful, sitting stylistically closer to the great Grenaches of Châteauneuf-du-Pape or Priorat than traditional richer Australian expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it is medium-bodied with incredibly fine yet authoritative tannins and vibrant natural acidity that gives the wine remarkable tension and drive. The fruit profile balances pure red berries and plum skin with savoury spice, ironstone minerality and chalky structure, creating a wine that feels both luxurious and tightly coiled. Despite the warm and dry 2022 vintage, the wine retains exceptional freshness and precision, with a finish that is long, detailed and hauntingly persistent. Layers of Asian spice, incense, gravelly tannins and saline minerality continue to unfold long after the wine leaves the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is unquestionably one of the benchmark Grenaches in Australia — and increasingly one of the great Grenaches of the world. Compared to fuller, sweeter-fruited Grenache styles from McLaren Vale or Barossa, Farvie offers far more mineral tension, savoury complexity and structural finesse, sitting stylistically somewhere between fine Rhône Grenache and a uniquely Australian ironstone-driven expression. The 2022 vintage is especially compelling, showing both the concentration of a warm season and the extraordinary detail that defines this vineyard. It’s already breathtaking with extended decanting, but this is a wine built for long-term ageing. Drink now with patience or cellar confidently through 2042+ as it develops further spice, leather, earth and tertiary complexity. Exceptional with lamb, venison, game meats or deeply savoury Mediterranean dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eInfo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"846\" style=\"height: 117.563px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 157.688px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left; width: 386.312px;\"\u003eAustralia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 157.688px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePRODUCER\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 386.312px;\"\u003eSwinney\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 157.688px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 386.312px;\"\u003eGrenache\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 157.688px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSTYLE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 386.312px;\"\u003eRed Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 157.688px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 386.312px;\"\u003e2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 157.688px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSIZE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left; width: 386.312px;\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Swinney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51218595119419,"sku":"24321-750","price":150.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/2022SwinneyFarvieGrenache-WineMoreCellars.png?v=1778060815","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2022-swinney-farvie-grenache","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
