Swinney - Farvie Syrah 2023 [97+ Punkte Parker]

Exklusiv in Deutschland bei WineDreams - Life is too short to drink bad wine

Swinney - Farvie Syrah 2023:

Die Weine des Swinney-Labels repräsentieren die obersten 2 % der Weinbergsproduktion der Familie, und Farvie ist der absolute Höhepunkt - mit nur ein paar hundert Kisten pro Jahr.

Dies ist ein beeindruckender Wein mit Syrah-Aromen aus dem kühlen Klima und der ätherisch üppigen Textur von Le Musigny. Er stammt aus einem ganz besonderen Weinberg, dessen Trauben durch sorgfältigen Weinbau vor direkter Sonneneinstrahlung geschützt werden, um einen lebendigen und feinen Wein zu erhalten. Die Nase duftet nach wilden Heidelbeeren, Zwetschgen, Nelken, Sternanis und weißem Pfeffer. Im Mund ist er sehr raffiniert, intensiv und konzentriert im Geschmack, mit einer herrlich saftigen Textur. Ein Hauch von pudrigem Tannin ist spürbar, aber äußerst delikat. Ein außergewöhnlicher Wein, der sich bereits jetzt hervorragend trinken lässt und mühelos 15 Jahre oder länger reifen dürfte.

97+ Points - Erin Larkin (RobertParker.com):

"The 2023 Farvie Syrah is streamlined and tightly coiled, with layers of compacted red gravel, dried rose petals, blood and licorice, dried herbs and caper brine, tapenade and sandalwood. This is all blue fruit; the tannins are firm but very fine, profuse without being overbearing and all derived from the fruit and stems (approximately 60% in 2023). At 13.9% alcohol, this is fine, fresh and bloody, and it's so exciting to feel, as the tannins are everything we could hope for, as fine wine lovers, seamlessly integrated and natural, contributing to the overall effortlessness of the wine. Bravo. Sealed under screw cap." - Wine Advocate

20+/20 Matthew Jukes, The Fifty Finest Wines of 2024, www.matthewjukes.com, January 2025:
"Finally, the featured wine in this extraordinary trio. 2023 Swinney Farvie Syrah employs 55% whole bunches, 13.7% alcohol, and the fruit is derived 70% Powderbark B2 and 30% Wilson’s Pool. This is a super-closed and incredibly combative wine, and all the action happens in pin-drop silence. This is a quiet assassin, and the tension throughout is remarkable. It is not easy to determine the grape variety on first taste, and nor should it be because the vineyard and its intense minerality speak louder than the flesh and skins of the grapes. The frictive layers of anti-fruit silently fall away to reveal a spectacular statuesque Syrah. Toned, lithe, brightly fruited and yet immovable, there is not a molecule out of place, and it stands riveted to the spot with a commanding gaze and unshakable temperament." 20+/20

99 Punkte - Ray Jordan, Business News:

“Deep black and dark red colour with touches of purple. There is a sweet and beautiful spicy freshness and energy that bursts from the glass. This wine is about feel, and there is a saline minerality and alkaline character combining with an almost glazed shimmering sheen. It is a wine that is both detailed and expansive with layered revealing textures and flavours burning within. The fruit is from dry-grown vertically trellised vines on the Powerbark and Wilson’s Pool vineyards. And the detail comes from the hand-picking, berry-sorting approach before gravity feeding the two demi muids with a 55 per cent whole bunch component. A remarkable wine that challenges our greatest shiraz albeit with a stylistic difference."

97 Punkte - Nick Ryan, The Weekend Australian:

‘Savoury, tight, earthy. With time, black and blue berries emerge, and the wine takes on a little flesh as well. But a firm, ironstone spine remains. Incredible focus and precision.’
