Critic Reviews

94 pts Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.

Fresh, bursting with mango, pineapple and dried pear, has a little aniseed and floral perfume, and some citrus zest and herb. It’s light and fresh, so much flavour, but with a gentle flinty texture and bright acidity, green herb and apple skin, lemon barley, juicy and long to finish, with a fine chalky pucker to close. Unreal."

Cellaring Potential

Drink now, but will age sensationally for 5-7 years.

Enjoy With

Fish tacos with mexican salsa.

About Faber Vineyard

Recently recognised as an ‘Icon of the Swan Valley’ at the 2022 Swan Valley Wine Show Awards, John’s service to the resurrection of the Swan Valley as a unique, premium wine producing area has now been immortalised. Although only a relatively recent arrival to the Swan Valley, John Griffith has a deep understanding of the Swan Valley’s history and and its strengths as this is shown through the wines he produces. Faber Vineyard, in Baskerville, was established in 1997 by John and his wife Jane Micallef.

John spent 10 years learning the skills of making highly drinkable wines in warm climates before arriving in the Swan Valley. He recognized that the Swan Valley was unique in its ability to produce delicate, refined white wines, smooth generously flavoured and long-lived red wines, and extremely rich luscious liqueur styles. As he refined his winemaking skills, he learnt about the proven grape varieties and wine styles that had over one hundred years of development and success in the Swan Valley.
