Description

The NV Swift Cuvée Brut is a traditional method sparkling crafted from the highest vineyards in New South Wales, on the volcanic slopes of Mount Canobolas (Gaahna Bulla) in the Orange Wine Region. The Swift family saw the region's potential in 2009, betting big on its cool climate and rich volcanic soils to produce sparkling wines with exceptional finesse. A decade and a bit later, they’re making some of the most highly regarded sparkling wines in the country.

Winemaker Drew Tuckwell’s dedication shines here, with each bottle spending up to 96 months on lees to build that irresistible depth and richness. This is classic méthode traditionnelle at its finest, with a chardonnay-dominant blend balanced by pinot noir and a touch of reserve wines, giving complexity without overwhelming the bright citrus, baked brioche, and delicate mineral notes. With a restrained dosage, the NV Swift Cuvée Brut is pure, layered, and perfectly in tune with its high-altitude origins.

Already a mainstay in Tyson Stelzer's Sparkling Hall of Fame, this is a wine that’s all about elegance, cool-climate craftsmanship, and the kind of patience that only the finest sparkling producers have. Whether you’re celebrating something big or just feel like treating yourself, this bottle promises a masterclass in Australian sparkling.

"White peach, pomelo skin and nashi pear. Cider apples, cherry blossoms and crushed chalk. Calippo-like freshness. Mouth-watering acidity with a wash of white stone minerality and sea spray. Plenty of tension and precision here, with a real pureness to the orchard fruit."
- Shanteh Wale (Halliday Wine Companion)

96 points - "53/32/15% pinot noir/chardonnay/pinot meunier based on the 2017 vintage with 14% reserve wines. Disgorged in October 2018; 4g/L dosage and 72 months lees ageing. White peach, pomelo skin and nashi pear. Cider apples, cherry blossoms and crushed chalk. Calippo-like freshness. Mouth-watering acidity with a wash of white stone minerality and sea spray. Plenty of tension and precision here, with a real pureness to the orchard fruit." - Shanteh Wale (Halliday Wine Companion)

94 Points - "This is impressively fresh and youthful for a blend that has spent around six years on lees. Fruit drives the wine, with lemon/citrus aromas, honey notes and traces of flint, a whisper of bready development is all that reveals its age. Crisp and refreshing, refined and harmonious, without obvious sweetness, ensuring an appetising, more-ish taste. Excellent sparkling wine in a fresher, fruit-driven style." - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

Gotta be the Best for NSW sparkling

This sparkling always surprises me, light floral and crisp with beautiful acidity and balance, off dry with apple, melon notes. Beautiful for spring/summer. If you want to support local then this is a must share

Highly recommend

Absolutely beautiful ! Lovely fruity flavour. Everyone who had it loved it.

Swift Sparkling wines are single vineyard, high elevation wines that sit alongside the best sparkling wines from across Australia. The Cuvée is usually chardonnay dominant but embraces the complexity that pinot noir and reserve wines can bring to the blend. Long lees ageing (approx 96 months) adds richness. Low dosage enables greater purity and expression.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
