2024 Swinney Riesling

Campbell Mattinson, www.winefront.com.au "It’s hard to go past intensity of fruit flavour in a young riesling, and this Swinney 2024 has plenty of it. Lemon, salt, lime leaf and wet stone characters put on a pretty dramatic – not to mention classy – display, the finish then chalky, textural and dry. There’s a tonic water aspect to this. And plenty of mouth perfume. And something of a meaty savouriness. And yet all the while the fruit feels pristine, and concentrated. It’s a cracking example of Frankland River riesling, at its best. It’s a wine of both joy, and quality." 95 pts

"Deep lemon in colour, the nose suggests a wine of balance and intensity. There are notes of grapefruit, indeed a range of citrus, riverstones, figs, stonefruits and a minerally backing. Fine oystershell acidity runs the length. The wine has a clean and crisp texture with focus and drive and very good length. The finish offers a touch of that wonderful regional characteristic, honeysuckle. Enjoy this over the next six to eight years. A superb Riesling. " 94 pts
