{"product_id":"2025-swinney-mourvedre-rose","title":"2025 Swinney Mourvedre Rosé","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 Swinney Mourvèdre Rosé is another benchmark release from one of Australia’s most exciting modern producers, sourced from dry-grown bush vines on the ironstone-rich Powderbark Vineyard in Frankland River, Western Australia. Crafted by Rob Mann, the wine is built with the same obsessive vineyard detail and precision as the flagship Farvie reds, drawing heavily on Mourvèdre (around 86%) with small additions of Vermentino, Grenache and Cinsault to enhance freshness, texture and aromatic complexity. Whole-bunch pressing, wild fermentation and maturation in seasoned French oak give the wine remarkable depth and structure while preserving freshness and finesse. The nose is intensely aromatic and finely layered, revealing crushed strawberry, wild raspberry and crab apple alongside rose petal, honeysuckle and subtle Provençal herbs. There are savoury nuances of marzipan, white pepper, ginger and saline minerality, with a delicate floral lift and ironstone-derived complexity that elevate the wine far beyond a simple fruit-driven rosé.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it is medium-bodied with a beautifully textural, almost vinous feel balanced by vibrant briny acidity and fine phenolic grip. Flavours of white grapefruit, cranberry, sour cherry and watermelon are supported by chalky minerality, savoury spice and a gently creamy lees texture from barrel fermentation. Despite its concentration and complexity, the wine remains remarkably fresh and energetic, finishing bone dry, saline and persistent with a refined tannin structure that gives it genuine gastronomic appeal.\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 rosé wines in Australia — stylistically much closer to top-tier Bandol rosé than lighter Provence-inspired styles. Compared to simple, fruit-forward rosé, Swinney offers far more texture, savoury detail and mineral complexity while still remaining incredibly drinkable and refreshing. The 2025 vintage is especially impressive, combining the richness of a warm season with remarkable tension and freshness. It’s a rosé designed for serious food pairing as much as aperitif drinking, and one that will comfortably evolve over several years in bottle. Enjoy well chilled now or cellar through 2031+ as it develops further savoury and nutty complexity. Exceptional with grilled seafood, charcuterie, roast chicken, Mediterranean dishes or anything with spice and umami.\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;\"\u003eMourvèdre\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;\"\u003eRosé 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;\"\u003e2025\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":51218617991483,"sku":"25887-750","price":58.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/2025SwinneyMourvedreRose-WineMoreCellars.png?v=1778063195","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2025-swinney-mourvedre-rose","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
