Swinney Frankland mourvèdre 2025

This Rhône variety has really found a home in Frankland, and this is another compelling example of the variety. Lovely savoury, mineral notes float across some nice red fruits, with a subtle ironstone edge. The palate is generous but supple, with that fine thread of chalky tannins supported by very gentle oak, handling and controlling the fruit through to a long finish. It's a wine of remarkable complexity and juiciness, with those ripe red fruits and a little blue-fruit character filling out the palate.
