Swinney - Grenache 2023 [96 Punkte Parker]

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

Swinney - Grenache 2023:

Dieser grandiose Grenache wird an Buschreben angebaut, deren schattenspendendes Blätterdach und dreidimensionales Wachstumsmuster die Trauben voneinander trennen und eine gleichmäßige Reifung in dem für diese Sorte untypischen Klima von Frankland River gewährleisten.

Mit seiner tief rubinvioletten Farbe ist dieser Wein ungewöhnlich dunkel für Grenache, was wiederum auf die Art des Anbaus zurückzuführen ist. Eine fabelhafte, komplexe Mischung aus süßen, würzigen und pikanten Aromen: Kirschen, Himbeeren, weiße Schokolade, Vanilleschoten, Veilchen, Nelken und Anis. Im Mund zeigen sich saftige Noten von Schwarzkirschen und Brombeeren, mit einer feinen, aber festen Struktur und einem eleganten, sauberen und langem Finale. Es spricht nichts dagegen, diesen Wein sofort zu genießen, aber er sollte auch sehr anmutig altern.

96 Points - Erin Larkin (RobertParker.com):

"The 2023 Grenache leads with the typical Frankland River silty tannin—quite different from the McLaren Vale tannin profile, which is finer and lighter, with more clarity. This is earthier and more powerful, yet the magical thing here is that the wine is in possession of sweet finesse and pliable shape. Its inherent earthiness does not detract from its agility in the mouth, nor does it lend the wine broad shoulders. Rather, it is mineral and fresh, powerful and long. This is an awesome wine, as usual. 13.8% alcohol, sealed under screw cap." - Wine Advocate

"Outstanding grenache has been the calling card of Swinney, drawing gaze to their wonderful vineyard in Frankland River and rewriting the code with their medium-bodied, perfumed and succulent styling. We see a continuity of quality with this wine, with all the rosy perfume, floral lift, quiet meatiness and exotic spice, the concentrated but silky drawl of red and black cherry fruitiness and a swish of incredibly pure, fine, elegant ribbons of fine, granular tannin. With all this, an urgency to gulp – the wine, again, a high water mark for elegant reds of Australia." Mike Bennie

95 points - Nick Ryan, The Weekend Australian

“The Swinney vineyard in Frankland River has rewritten the map for Australian grenache, pulling focus from the traditional South Australian heartland and shining a light on WA's remote south-west. Tight and coiled at first, it unfurls gloriously in the glass to reveal dark raspberry and cranberry aromatics, a fleshy, gently gamey core of fruit and a complex weave of fine, gravelly tannins. ” 95 points
