Ray Jordan’s review

This wine, grown from dry-grown bush vines on the Swinney Wilson's Pool Vineyard, illustrates the inherent qualities of mourvèdre in this region, along with distinctive vineyard character. It's medium-bodied with lovely fragrances and the regional influence of a slightly ironstone, ferrous note. The inclusion of 18% whole bunches with wild fermentation has added structure and texture, fleshing out the middle palate well. Further time on lees has built additional complexity. A stylish expression of mourvèdre.
