{"product_id":"2024-swinney-grenache","title":"2024 Swinney Grenache","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 Swinney Grenache is another striking release from one of Australia’s leading modern Grenache producers, sourced from dry-grown bush vines at the Wilson’s Pool Vineyard in Frankland River, Western Australia. 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. The fruit profile balances crunchy red berries with spice, savoury herbs and mineral tension, creating a wine that feels both supple and tightly coiled. Compared to richer McLaren Vale Grenache styles, the Swinney leans more toward elegance and structure, with a coolness and savoury complexity that reflects Frankland River’s unique terroir. The finish is long, energetic and beautifully persistent, with remarkable finesse and ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is one of the benchmark modern Australian Grenaches — combining Rhône-like perfume and structure with a distinctly Australian mineral edge. Compared to fuller, sweeter-fruited Grenache styles, Swinney offers more savoury detail, freshness and tension while still delivering depth and concentration from old dry-grown vines. The 2024 vintage is especially impressive given the warm conditions, showing outstanding balance, clarity and energy. It’s already highly compelling with some air, but this wine will comfortably reward medium to long-term cellaring. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar through 2036+ as it develops further earthy and savoury complexity. Perfect with lamb, chargrilled pork, Mediterranean dishes or spice-driven cuisine.\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;\"\u003e2024\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":51218556715323,"sku":"25519-750","price":44.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/2024SwinneyGrenache-WineMoreCellars.png?v=1778059098","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2024-swinney-grenache","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
