Description

The Swift sparkling wines have quickly risen through the ranks of the Australian wines scene to become considered one of the premier sparkling labels in this country.

The family business established in 1996 by Jim and Ruth Swift, now run by their sons Ed and Dave, has put the Orange region on the map as some of the best terroir in Australia for producing elegant, complex sparkling wines of very high calibre.

The Brut Rosé is comprised predominantly of Chardonnay, with some Pinot Noir fruit adding richness and palate weight.

It's a wonderfully floral and enticing style of blushed sparkling, showing creamy richness and sweet red berries set to a dry, savoury back drop. A fine example of the high quality sparkling coming from this producer. Delicious drinking.

"There is a Japanese garden of cherry blossom, pickled plum and cranberry. Cooked quince and orange bitters. Monte Carlo biscuits and rosehip. Some savoury tones that surprise with paprika and peppercorn. A touch of raspberry tea leaf tannins and finishing quite dry. This wine screams for an array of food; it's moreish in its dry finish despite its 5g/L dosage. A kaleidoscope of flavours wrapped in its fine bead. So much value for your coin here."

93 Points - This is a non-vintage cuvee labelled 2011 to denote its '11 base vintage and bottling. A pretty strawberry hull and red cherry bouquet flows seamlessly through the palate of this ultra pale salmon rose, with just 2% pinot noir red wine adding a fragrant layer over the wonderfully textured and complex palate of the NV Swift Cuvee Brut. It finishes with bright red berry fruits, vibrant acidity and elegant persistence." - Tyson Stelzer (Halliday Wine Companion)

Delicious local sparkling

Crisp and dry sparkling with a hint of strawberries - perfect.

Brilliant

So smooth, beautifully dry and the most divine salmon/blush pink in colour. I am what you might call a disciple of this drop now.

Swift hails from the elevated slopes of Orange, NSW. The cool climate and elevated vineyard sites are perfect for the production of traditional method sparkling wines. Hand picked fruit is gently handled and blended to create a range of premium sparkling wines now regarded as some of the best in Australia. Extended lees aging is a feature of the wines, rewarding with complexity yet retaining freshness and vibrancy.

Chardonnay dominates this Rosé, as it does with all the current release Swift wines. Pinot noir adds richness to the palate while importantly offering a light pink rosé blush. It is a dry, savoury wine with a fine line of acid running from start to finish supported by soft strawberry fruit richness.

Texture and weight is enhanced by 5 years of lees aging. Dosage: 5.0g/L Tirage date: August 2011 Disgorge date: September 2016 Time on lees: 60 months

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

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.
