The 2023 vintage celebrates the sixth vintage of Farvie and all three wines have been reviewed by esteemed UK wine writer, Matthew Jukes, in 'The Fifty Finest Wines of 2024' (www.matthewjukes.com), in which he awarded the 2023 Farvie Syrah 20+/20 and both the 2023 Farvie Grenache and Mourvèdre 19.5/20. In the feature, Jukes writes: 

"In 2023 the Farvie trio has done something near-impossible. They have already taken three wines at the highest level and improved their lot. It is easy to loosen the wheel nuts on a car but almost impossible to tighten them further. This Swinney has done. They are ultra-high-definition versions of previous vintages, and I take my hat off to viti (Rhys Thomas) and vini (Rob Mann) for communicating in sublime, choreographed harmony. Like Cerberus, I find it hard to choose one head from another, as all three are so spectacularly imposing. Like this mythical hound, they are all attached to the same elementally powerful body – the venerable soils in this unique corner of Frankland River."

Production of each Farvie wine is limited to just a few hundred cases per year.
